West Anatolian Carpet Lot: 131
West Anatolian Carpet The black-brown field shows a repeat drawn in a geometric style. Yellow arabesques as well as red and green palmettes are linked by hooked twigs. The white-ground border is decorated with heart-shaped designs. This very rare piece, made somewhere in West Anatolia but neither in the Bergama nor the Ushak region, belongs to a group of carpets in which a border design has migrated to the field. For instance, borders displaying the designs seen here are encountered in Ghirlandaio „keyhole“ carpets. The earliest representation of an Anatolian carpet showing a border design in the field is found on a family portrait of King Henry VIII in Hampton Court Palace, dated 1547. As is so often the case in antique Anatolian carpets, the ornaments that at first glance appear like highly stylised floral designs can also be interpreted as abstract animals, meaning that an older Anatolian tradition continued in disguise, as it were. Divided horizontally in the past, the carpet was recently re-joined, but today it is either complete or only missing a fraction of its original overall length. The damaged sides have been backed with red fabric, various repiled areas.

Chondzoresk Lot: 134
Chondzoresk A Chondzoresk with two large, octagonal medallions on a light red field; the octagons enclose the characteristic sinuous lines arranged concentrically around a central rectangle. These designs used to be interpreted as cloud bands, and their Chinese origin was considered a given fact. However, recent insights have revealed the sinuous lines to be stylised animal forms, probably dragons. Somewhat reduced ends, original sides. Slight signs of wear in the pile.

Sultanabad Lot: 137
Sultanabad A white-ground carpet in an oversized format, with a spaciously conceived repeat of flowers, palmettes, sickle leaves and large bands curved into S-shapes executed in pastel shades. The carpet was made in the Ziegler workshops of Sultanabad. Originally considerably wider, the main and outer borders were removed at some point to make the carpet fit a certain room format. Slight signs of wear, in good overall condition.

Very finely woven, clear brilliant colours, a masterpiece of Swedish folk art. Very good condition.

Yomut Main Carpet Lot: 144
Yomut Main Carpet The aubergine field is covered by a dense repeat of large kepse güls in vibrant and diverse colours, while a Turkmen wavy vine adorns the main border. As is often the case in antique main carpets, the pile-woven elems display different designs. Woven in the symmetric knot, the carpet was probably made by the Yomut although its colours and certain stylistic features are reminiscent of Chodor pieces. Original finishes all around, slight damage to the sides. Several creases and minor repairs.

Erzerum Kilim Lot: 151
Erzerum Kilim Distinctly larger in dimension than usual and with a sea green, hexagonal diamond medallion containing abstract flowers on a red ground, this Kurdish kilim from the East Anatolian region of Erzerum is a rarity; most surviving examples from the provenance are small-format prayer rugs. Highly stylised trees and vines surround the medallion while tree shapes adorn the wide, corn yellow border. Four thin pillars oriented towards the central motif show a distant influence of Ottoman court models. Various rewoven areas, now in good condition.
