8.2 8 x 10, Indo Heriz, circa 1975.  The war and weft are cotton with the a hand spun a-symmetrical knot that is warp offset.  Chemical dyes have been employed and rendered a black flied color that is black with the supporting colors blending very artfully.  The design is a overall geometrical configuration of vines and flowers. 

9 x 12, Afghan Balouch, circa 1985. The all hand spun wool warp and weft supports an all hand spun wool pile a-symmetrically knotted with slight warp offset.  Dyes employed are vegetal and show a very different side of the norm as they are very bright with lighter colors the off white field is very different for these people.  A medallion design is very unlike what one see’s (lack of a tribal identity) but well done, it is believed that the style here is politically influenced both with design and colors utilized.  The trend in the last few years has reversed back to tribal design but with a much finer quality and defused tribal gul both major and minor.

8 x 10 Floral Vine Tibetan circa 1995.  Hand spun cotton warp and wefts support a all hand spun wool woven in the rod technique with a one half inch thick pile.  Swiss chrome Gygi dyes render a purple red field with a gray brown vine flowing across. 

8.4 x 11.7 Afghan Balouch star Ushak, circa 1980. The all hand spun wool warp and weft supports an all hand spun wool pile a-symmetrically knotted with slight warp offset.  Dyes employed are vegetal with the Terra-Cotta red field dominating.  The design is unusual and is reflective of an old Turkish Ushak star pattern very well done but it is believed that the style here is politically influenced with the design utilized.  The trend in the last few years has reversed back to tribal design but with a much finer quality and defused tribal gul both major and minor.

 8.4 x 10.5, Afghanistan Belouch Oushak circa 1980.  Hand spun wool warps and weft support an all hand spun wool a-symmetrical knot.  Vegetal dyes along with the Turkoman eye for their terra cotta red as a main field color are not a disappointment, the well placed use of blue, and white and green have been well thought out as well.  This Oushak design was a favorite during the 18^th century with the large (star) gul’s repetitively utilized in this grid pattern with the main border meandering with a scroll type border that some refer to as the scorpion. 

8 x 10, Kings Court black Tibetan circa 1995.  Hand spun cotton warp and wefts support all hand spun wool woven in the rod technique with a one half inch thick pile.  Swiss chrome Gygi dyes render a rich deep black and gray highlighted with a golden brown.  The chess set board theme is alive here with the squared geometrical layout.

9 x 12, Donegal Wykham India circa 2000.  The Arts & Crafts collection features authentic designs, many of which have not been seen for almost 100 years. Famous Donegal Arts & Crafts carpets were originally advertised around 1900 "principally in soft shades of terra-cotta red, blue, greens, and golden browns." This new Arts & Crafts collection is carefully crafted in India of beautifully colored and richly textured Astrakhan wool.  Vegetal dyes offer an additional richness to the authenticity of this recreation.

7.11 x 10.2, Indo Jagapatti Yazd circa 1998.  The all cotton warp and weft supports an all hand spun wool a-symmetrical slight warp offset pile.  Vegetal dyes infuse a life like sense to the flowers and field colors utilized.  This design, “Yazd ” is known for its fine flower presentation and this carpet does not disappoint in fact this was the proto (DEM 2) type for the entire line from this manufacture of the Jagapatti line. 

6.2 x 9.3, Roma-Persian Kerman, Romania circa 1975.  An all cotton warp and weft foundation supports a hand spun wool a-symmetrical knotted pile with slight warp offset that is three eights thick.  The dyes employed are chemical with very good results such as the blue main field and all supporting colors in shades that would fool most.  The design is traditional with a field filled with vines and flowers.  The wool of this carpet has a rough touch that after cleaning will soften but one should know that this wool has not been bleached to achieve a soft touch for the consumer and will wear like steel.

6.4 x 6.8 Czechoslovakian Caucasian Memling gul circa 1980.  Woven in the Check republic by Turkish weavers is a rarity and will stay that way.  The wool used is all hand spun and chemical dyes have expertly rendered the deep earthy color tones so prized from the Caucus Mountain rugs collected by rug enthusiast. This is one of those unrecognized jewels.
