Luri Gabbeh
Add to wishlist
- 141
- South West Persia, Fars
- 197 x 137 cm
- Ca. 1900
- 2,300
Coarsely woven on a goat hair warp, this authentic Luri gabbeh displays an archaically simple design of three diamonds placed on the central axis of the open red field and two borders of equal width in which red and blue, or brown and yellow, triangles combine into bold serrated bands. The rug was purchased at Galerie Merx in Tübingen in 1992. – Original finishes all around, lustrous wool. Slight signs of age and wear in the pile.
Yomut Kap
Add to wishlist
- 142
- Central Asia, West Turkestan
- 35 x 70 cm
- First half 19th century
- 4,000
The palette, knotting structure and wool suggest that this small bag face in the kap format is a Yomut weaving. Kaps almost identical in design are known to have been woven by the Tekke. Two continuous borders of small stylised shrubs divide the white field into two compartments, each containing a tree with a large ashik design, V-shaped branches and C-motifs. The white outer surround decorated with C-forms is a characteristic feature of this rare type. Our example used to be in the Fernandes Collection, Singapore. – Good condition, no back.

Obruk Long Rug
Add to wishlist
- 147
- Central Anatolia, Konya region
- 335 x 107 cm
- Second half 19th century
- 2,000
Four huge star devices fill the blazing red field. Each of the primary designs is combined with four hooked triangles arranged around it. The black-ground border contains serrated diagonal leaves divided in two by colour change and horizontal flowers with cup-shaped blossoms. In this long rug with the full pile preserved, the expressive, strong and brilliant colours are a surprising feature. It is virtually indistinguishable from an example published by Brüggemann/Böhmer and sold by us in 1985. – Most of the heavily corroded black sections have been partially repiled. Major repiled areas in the whole of the left border section.

Kolyai
Add to wishlist

- 251 x 130 cm
- Second half 19th century

This Kurdish rug woven in the typical single-weft structure is from the Kolyai region situated west of Hamadan in southern Kurdistan. The narrow, midnight blue field is covered in a dense repeat of offset rows of trees bearing white and pink blossoms which surround each motif along the sides and top. The motifs are faintly reminiscent of the botehs seen in Sehna kilims. The design of the wide main border consists of flowering shrubs drawn in the typical style of Kolyai weavings. – Slight signs of age and wear, the pile is very low in places. New overcasting along the sides.
