Bokhara Suzani Lot: 161
Bokhara Suzani Despite its divergent field design of blossoms linked by delicate twigs, this impressive Bokhara silk embroidery can be classified as part of the group of large medallion Suzanis, as can be inferred from the style of drawing, colour scheme and technique with the motifs executed in basma stitch and the outlines embroidered in ilmok stitch as well as the design of the wide border. Less than ten examples of this very rare sub-group are known. Backed with fabric, good condition, only minimal repairs.

Baluch Lot: 162
Baluch The blue-black field displays a geometric, stylised version of the Persian mina-khani repeat, here executed with straight twigs and serrated diagonal leaves. A row of large blossoms marks the central axis; the blossoms of the two flanking rows are cut and halved by the border. White star-shaped flowers provide lively highlights in the dark field. The wide, tomato-red border shows a geometric, abstract vine of twigs decorated with flowers and rosettes. An example displaying the same field design was exhibited at the San Francisco ICOC in 1990. Baluch rugs of this group were probably made by the Karai tribe in the Torbat-e Haydari region. Completely preserved with the wide, finely woven kilim finishes.

Qashqai Lot: 168
Qashqai Exceptionally finely and carefully woven from the best pile wool, such large carpets are products of small workshops where the Qashqai wove to order, often for the tribal leaders (khans). Judging by its structure, this splendid example may be the work of Rahimlu weavers. Original finishes all around, very good condition.

Ladik Lot: 171
Ladik A powerful blue design bar of rectangles enclosing large stars with octagonal surrounds has been placed on the vertical axis of the red field. On both sides, the primary motif is flanked alternately by eight-pointed stars and octagons filled with crosses. Another example of this very rare type, which only survives in fragmented form, was exhibited at the 2004 Seattle ACOR Conference, where it was described as a Karapinar. A further example, published by Willborg, is attributed to „Sizma (Ladik)“. Obvious signs of age and wear, damage to the ends and sides.
