Tapestry or rug

I bought this textile 20+ years ago and had it hanging in my store to close off my display closet. I was told by someone that it’s silk and possibly Afghanistan made. It measures 60” wide by 96” height. It could use a cleaning but I’ll leave that to whoever buys it. I want to know its value or any information anyone can share. Thank you in advance.

Rug origin help

Hi, I got this used rug today and know absolutely nothing about. I was hoping you knowledgeable folks might be able to shed some light on it.

The rug is about 3' x 12' or 14', surprisingly heavy for the size, and from the slightly scratchy texture I'd guess wool? I'd also say the photos make the colours look a bit more vibrant than they actually are. Thanks!

Vintage Kars Kazak

A wonderful Turkish Kars Kazak with an eagle design, handwoven with vegetable dyed wool. Kars Kazaks are usually wool on wool pieces, making them deceptively heavy rugs.

Size: 5’6 x 7’10

Would like to know more about these carpets

A relative of mine bought these sometime in the 60s or 70s.

The first red carpet is approx. 2 meters x 1 meter. Reverse image searches come back as wool, either Persian, Iranian, or Afghan.

The second item is a pair of carpets. Each one about 2.5 meters long by 0.7 meters wide. Bought around the same time I think. Reverse image searches come back to it being from Mali.

If anyone could ID them further it would be great. We're also looking to sell so not sure what price to list them at. We were thinking about £150 for each item.

Thanks.

It's about 193x280 cm in size.
appears to be made from wool, and looks handmade
