Several "Asian" rugs?

Hi,
my late mother in law and grandmother in law loved to collect Asian or Persian rugs. I know the bigger ones are made of wool. The smaller one with blue dragons I was told was probably cotton processed to make it look like silk. Well I did the burn test with some of it's fibers ( 5 times!) and it smelled like burnt hair, so silk, right?
The two larger ones have a couple of tiny spots where moths found them, otherwise they are in fairly good condition considering how old they are.
Anyone know anything about hand made rugs?
Thank you.

 

First one is Chinese.

 

I'm very confused about the second one. Only one end with fringe? And those additional strips on the left that don't appear on the right? Is the third picture the same rug as number 2?

 

how many rugs in total? and which one has the close up please

 

We need a better picture of the rug in the last 2 pictures Better lighting and a picture that contains the entire rug (including fringe if any.)

 

The first one with the blue dragons is Chinese, as @Bakersgma said. From the photo of the back, it looks to be fairly recent and machine made (not hand knotted). It is probably wool, rather than silk. Wool would also smell like burnt hair.
I agree that better photos are needed of the others, including a closeup of the back.

 

3 rugs. The first 3 pics are of the Chinese one. The second rug does only have fringe on one end ( I don't know why). The last rug has fringe on both ends. I had better pictures of both last two rugs, close-ups, and the back. For some reason when I try to upload them the system tells me they are too large. The problem is after taking those pictures and brushing the dust off of one ( stored under the bed) my husband and I decided to store them better. So they are both now rolled and taped onto cardboard cylinders.

 

Files have to be under 1MB. You don't need to get out the rugs, you need to reduce the size of your files.

 

#2 maybe meant to go in an entryway so that 3 sides would be in contact with walls & perhaps a step?

 

Wow, wool? I have to know what kind of sheep these were because it's the softest , silkiest wool I've ever felt!

 

Oh, thank you. Lemme see if I can figure out how to do that.

 

A close up of the back of the one with fringe on both ends, and a close up of the design.

 

Ok - That one is handknotted. Note that on the underside, the design seen on the front is replicated on the back and is not interrupted by the white "threads" you see on the back of the Chinese one. The style is called Bokhara.

 

rugs are hard to tell the yarn in photo's.
My silk Chinese....

compare them to yours....

 

Looks like a fairly contemporary Pakistani Bokhara, like this:

The one with the fringe on one side may have been used on a camel when riding - or other animal. Some saddle bags were made like this so they could flap over.

This site gives a very good comparison of silk vs. mercerized bamboo vs. rayon art-silk. Scroll down the page a bit for a series of comparative photos (sorry I can't seem to copy and paste them all here).

We haven't been given dimensions, so it's hard to say, but it's bigger than the Chinese rug (she called that one small as compared to the others in the OP.)

 

Ooooo, those are beautiful. And they're silk?
The fringe and the back looks like my dragon one. As far as I can tell.

 

Is this how it should look?
