My customer would be grateful for identification of this rug. Thanks.

 

[Robert Aigin]

Sorry, there are better people than me to advise on chemicals and cleaning methods.

Hi Martin
This answer is not in order of the posts.
your rug is made by Afghan weavers residing either in Afghanistan or Pakistan. The rug is known as Chubi by the trade or Afghan Ziegler.
Ziegler was Swiss who set up weaving workshops in Mahal in Persia around 1880. The Afghans sort of copy those designs.

It looks like a Persian Belouch around 30-40 years old.

Hi Rob

Any idea what the value on this would be we think its a Louis De Poortere ??

 

[Robert Aigin]

Hi Nick
Sorry, I have no idea what these sell for. They are the latest trend where they take semi old rugs and bleach all the colour out of them. I think they're awful so have never got involved with them.

 

[Nick Robertson-Vousden]

I don't blame you !! it looks awful

 

[Jamie Biles]

Hi Jamie
This is an Afghan Chobi also known as an Afghan Ziegler. They’re still made today, new you’d pay around £3-400 per square metre for a good quality one.

Hi David
It’s definitely Persian but I can’t say more from this photo.
Retail replacement would be around
£4-500.

Is this thread still active? It's one of my favorites, to be honest, and I may finally have something for you, @Robert Aigin

The customer says it's around 20 years old. She doesn't know anything else.

 

[Robert Aigin]

This is a Persian Qashgai rug 20-30 years old.
they are good commercial quality rugs and antique examples are very collectible.
Retail value is around £350 per square metre.
