    Hi,
    This is coming up in an auction so the photos aren't very good. The size is 8' x 10', has been in storage so has wrinkles.
    Is there a way to tell from the photos an idea of age or where it was made? Do you think this is hand made or machine made?
    thanks for looking
    any information appreciated

    looks like a handmade Bokhara ..but many are machine made........fine..but not very old...there are red ones...blue ones......this is a cross breed...which may indicate it's origin...

    thanks komokwa! I sent in my bid and lost out on it by $1.00:( Without being able to see it before hand I didn't want to bid too much - with your information I did learn about the fringe part and how to tell if handmade so all is not lost:)
