For sale is a Bakhtiari Tribal Kilim Rug, Mixed Technique Turkish Bag, Rug. We did just a little bit of homework on this beauty and our description will reflect just how much there is to know about this genre of collecting and regrettably, how little we know. We are certain it is Turkish, but haven't been able to determine if it is a bag or a rug. The design seems to indicate the two sides that would drape astride the animal are the lighter sections and we are leaning towards camel bag, but again, we aren't 100% certain...probably not even 80%. We do know there is mixed technique employed here. Our research indicates the correct attribution of the making of the piece might even be "Luri/Bakhtiari". We know for certain the underside is as gorgeous as the top side. The colors are much more saturated. As far as era, we are guessing (as many do in this genre) it is either late 19th or early 20th century. We think it's just marvelous and hope the collecting community does also.
