Jozan Lot: 125
Jozan Rugs made in the town of Jozan are some of the best quality weavings of the Hamadan region, with a firm knotting structure and a dense, tight pile. The example offered here stands out for its unusually long format to which the ogival, elongated central medallion, abrashed in various shades of green, has been skilfully adapted. A distinctive stylistic feature of Jozans is the outlines of the border vine, medallion and corners, which are decorated with white dots resembling strings of pearls. – The original selvedges survive along both sides, both ends minimally reduced, minor restored areas in the upper corners. Good overall condition.

Flamskäv Agedyna Lot: 128
Flamskäv Agedyna This small tapestry produced in a horizontal format, originally a carriage cushion, was made in the Skane district of South Sweden, or more precisely, Oxie in south western Skane. Woven in flamskäv technique, it was made in 1717 according to its date (the four numbers have been integrated discreetly into the design at the lower end). This makes it both one of the earliest and one of the most beautiful surviving examples of its kind. The design has been conceived symmetrically in mirror image around the vertical central axis. The centre of the blue-black field depicts two red lions wearing crowns in a confrontational pose: rising on their hind legs, they are extending their paws and snarling at each other. Two large trees separate the centre of the image from the sides; two red moose appear in the lower corners. Red flowers are scattered across the field; the ground is covered in blue, highly abstract twigs. – Very good condition, completely preserved with the red backing.
Origin:
South Sweden, Skane district
Dimensions:
44 x 104 cm
Age:
Dated 1717
Estimate:
35,000.00 €

Hotamis Kilim Lot: 129
Hotamis Kilim This white-ground kilim composed of four panels, with a field design of three large hexagons decorated with powerful hook shapes, was probably woven by one of the Turkmen Hotamis tribes in the surroundings of Karapinar. Several comparative examples have been published, but there is disagreement about their attribution as is almost always the case with Anatolian kilims. For instance, Eskenazi describes the piece published in his book as a weaving by the Afshar tribe of West Anatolia, but Brüggemann, Frauenknecht and Ploier attribute the kilims they have published to the Hotamis. – Good condition.

Central Anatolia, Karapinar region

Second half 19th century

Mut Kilim Lot: 130
