Ladik Long Rug Lot: 176
Ladik Long Rug An early Ladik in a long format, with four interconnected blue hexagons placed along the central axis of the burgundy field. In this design context, the large tulips stand out as the most striking designs. A fine weave, very good colours. Bausback and Eskenazi published two further examples of this rare group.

Kashan Lot: 179
Kashan A Kashan in the style of Mohtashem carpets, its white field designed as a large shield shape containing an ogival, blue-black medallion. The floral design is drawn in the angular style characteristic of old Kashan carpets. As the main border also has a white ground, the carpet appears lighter than comparable examples. Low spots in the pile, slight damage along the sides.

Azeri Kilim Lot: 180
Azeri Kilim A single-panel kilim by the Azeri Turks from Azerbaijan, woven on a three-coloured warp in red, blue and ochre, producing a division of the surface into wide vertical stripes with an accentuated red centre. The bands are interlocked by striking zip fastener outlines. Partially woven and partially embroidered diamonds as well as small flowers and S-shapes form a second design layer. The particular fascination of this rare flatweave derives from the triad of ground colours and its abstract design. Good condition, only slight signs of wear.
Origin:
South Caucasus, Azerbaijan
Dimensions:
226 x 170 cm
Age:
Second half 19th century

Repiled and repaired sections in the area of the right-hand central border. Repaired moth damage in various places. Slightly reduced at the bottom, remains of the original kilim survive at the top.

Yomut Flatweave Lot: 186
Yomut Flatweave A rare Yomut flatweave with horizontal stripes; the seven brocaded bands patterned with interlocking pointed niches are interspersed with kilim stripes in plain brown red, dusky pink, blue and green. It is assumed that Yomut flatweaves of this kind were woven by semi-nomadic Göklen living in North East Persia for use as wall hangings in their winter quarters. An older example of the group from the McMullan Collection is now in the New York Metropolitan Museum. Minor areas of wear, otherwise very well preserved.

Bijar Lot: 190
Bijar Bijar carpets dispaying this rare design of rampant and snarling heraldic lions as well as large serrated leaves, grapes and flute-shaped flowers set into a repeat of ogival compartments formed by red vines were produced both in dozar format and in larger formats. Products of the late Qajar period, they can be roughly dated from 1880 to 1920. The design of European appearance does not originate in Persia; as Dodds surmises in his description of a similar example in the Fisher Collection, it may go back to Renaissance style European fabrics. A stylistic idiosyncracy of lion carpets is the use of changing colours in some motifs (here, the lions and some of the border ornaments), creating a speckled appearance (mottled design). Cut sides, reselvedged, otherwise in good condition.
Origin:
North West Persia, Kurdistan
Dimensions:

Ca. 1900
