Help: Bow ID

[Thomasgammeltoft]

Hi all,

 

Hoping for a bit of help/suggestions: A local is selling a cello bow, no name. I find the stick and head quite striking and beautiful. The frog is obviously pretty worn, and the crude screws in the underslide makes me think German. But do any of you want to venture a guess or help close in on what this might be?

 

Sorry for the hyperlinks instead of photos - don't think I am allowed to post photos yet.

I can't help with the bow, but the rug in some of those images looks interesting.  Looks perhaps like 19th-c. tribal South Persian.  Qashqa'i or maybe Khamseh?  Excellent colors...  Cheers, Paul
