Re: Can anyone identify possible brands for these two rugs?
Those appear to my eye to be machine made rugs, they're too perfect and uniform to be done on a loom by hand. The dyes are also very bland, so my guess is they are Chromium, not Vegetable dyed.
Its difficult to say so with any degree of accuracy however, need to see them in person and touchie-feelie. Have you flipped them over and actually inspected them to see if they are hand-knotted or just taken someones word for it?
The best rugs have no "brand", they are village made, by hand. Here's a place that has fine rugs, for example. These are the real deal in reproduction carpets, priced about $ 50 to $ 80 per s.f.
