What does this mean?

These are hand loomed rugs. They were woven using a loom large enough to accommodate this large 9' x 11' size and created using a warp and a weft. Technically, the term 'kilim' is used for wool woven rugs from the areas that were once the Ottoman/Turkish Empire. Yours are also wool and appear to use both natural and aniline dyes. They are Native Indian in style and would have likely been made around Chimayo, which is in New Mexico in the US. They date to the 1930s. The estimate is per rug and based on actual past auction sale records of comparables.
