Those are not great pictures, but they certainly look like Tabriz carpets.
Unfortunately the inherent quality of a carpet lies entirely in its workmanship (including knot count) and artistry, and that is impossible to gauge from those photos.
Tabriz produces some of the finest carpets in Persia—but also produces a lot of crap.
I'll try to take some close up photos of a very fine Tabriz that I have so you know what to look for. That said the price estimate figures indicate a fairly ordinary piece—which doesn't mean bad by any means. Indeed it might be very nice, but it will certainly not be collectible at that price.
