  • Small Zeichur Rug

    Hello to all members,

    I would kindly like to ask you a few questions about a rug of mine! It is a small, medium size zeichur rug, circa 1910, for what I am told. I think it is of certain quality and fine. My three questions. 1 Do you think this Rug might had been made for the use of the weaver or for sale, export? This is for me an important question ,maybe it had been made as a prayer rug?
    2 What do you could say about technique ,pile, colours, design, I attach a close photo of a particular of the rug. 3 Last question ,as you see by the photos the rug is in quite good condition overall though it is damaged in the upper left border, and also at the corners. In your personal opinion did you think this rug deserves to be restored in its critical points!?! I am told by a professional cleaner and dealer this rug restored will be not only finer, but really very valuable. Honestly, I like very much this Rug, and have no intentions to resell it . Also, I am doubtful about restoration ,in general. I attach a few photos. Thank you so much for all the information, opinions, ideas, you could provide. Kind Regards.

        Hello and welcome. You have a wonderful rug there! If it were mine I’d leave it as is pending how much of the border is missing. I’ve seen other examples where there is another 5-7 cm of border going all the way around the rug. Others I have seen look like yours and the border is similar. If I were to have it repaired, the only place that comes to mind is a well established large place near Izmir Turkey. I can’t recall the name and have never used them but I have seen a lot written about them. When it’s finished, you cannot tell there was ever any missing parts.

          Hello Joe ,

          Thank you for your reply! So, at the end of the story are you telling me that this rug deserves to be restored!?! Did you know that in the case I will go for it, I will need a lot of money, I think...I found here in Italy, a good restorer, in Turin, not an italian, an oriental that may be cheaper than send it to Turkey, I suppose. As, I have already said I am skeptical about restoration, in general. Regards.

                Lorenzo,

                You're quite welcome. Also, in order to make more informed comments on this piece, may I ask that you add one or two sharp closeup images of the back of the rug ?

                It will facilitate better analysis of dye behavior and structural analysis.

                Regards
                Chuck
