If you mean when the player is not a newbie anymore I think that the rating could be around 1000. That's enough rating to beat all newbies on chess. I was like that at the beginning, I could beat any opposition that was new to the game yet I was very weak.
Then there's the definition that includes that players so weak are not playing chess at all, and just move their pieces aimlessly trying to get pieces and checkmate the enemy king without knowing if they're winning or losing really.
If experienced then means leaving that phase and actually knowing what is going on, and playing a real chess game now and then (But still having poor tactical and positional abilities) I'd say an experienced player has a rating of about 1600.
If you only count chess players from there to above (since weaker players aren't playing chess at all by previous definitions) then an experienced player (An "experienced experienced player") would have about 2000 rating.
And even higher ratings could be supposed to players if you use "experienced" and "advanced" as synonyms. So it really depends on what do you mean by "experienced" and in what context do you use it.
I've been playing chess for several years meaning that I should be an experienced player but I'm really weak, so experience doesn't always equal strength, and a player that has less experience but it's better at the game will have a higher ELO than me so experience loses relevance.
