<p>[QUOTE="mr2real, post: 43057, member: 277"]I picked these up from a local estate last summer. They original owner worked in the oil industry and traveled through the Middle East extensively throughout his career, most likely 1950-70's. All these are made of wool and have a block print decoration. The square piece is thinner than the others and measures 100x100cm. The other two are thicker, but it's still hard to image them being used as a rug. One measures 16x24", and the other measures 5x7ft. I showed a picture to a physician friend from Egypt and he said the largest pieces decoration refers to the Shah. The two smaller pieces are marked and the large piece is not. Any thoughts are age, style, origin, etc are greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10801[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10804[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10802[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
