Shirvan Kilim Fragment
Add to wishlist
- 11
- East Caucasus
- 191 x 167 cm
- Late 19th century
- 250
A fragment of a Shirvan kilim with a design of horizontal stripes; about half of the original length has survived. – Good condition.
Genje Prayer Rug
Add to wishlist
- 12
- Central Caucasus
- 131 x 118 cm
- Second half 19th century
- 2,200
A rare prayer rug from the Genje region. The field shows a design of wide diagonal stripes randomly decorated with double S-motifs, small crosses and chevrons. A yellow mihrab has been superimposed on the basic design at the upper end. The white-ground main border displays diagonal serrated leaves and triangles (“leaf and calyx” border). In palette and style, the rug is reminiscent of Kazaks, but deviations in structure suggest that it was woven in the Genje area. – Signs of age and wear. Repiled end finishes, restored sides, uniformly low pile.
Perepedil
Add to wishlist
- 13
- East Caucasus, Kuba
- 164 x 122 cm
- Late 19th century
- 1,100
In this Perepedil, the large scale of the motifs used in the field design is striking. The white-ground main border contains stylised geometric rosettes – a typical design of the Kuba region, although it is as rare in rugs of the Perepedil group as are the reciprocal hooked bands (running dog) seen in the secondary borders. – The original kilim finishes survive at the top and bottom, new overcasting along the sides. Uniformly low pile.

- Mid 19th century
- 4,300
In this densely patterned Leshgi woven in a long format, seven of the star medallions that are typical of the provenance take up most of the narrow, dark brown field. The weaver has expressed a great love of the narrative by inserting 27 small human figures in the free spaces along the inner sides. The white-ground main border is decorated with hexagons in rich colour variations, each enclosing a diamond surrounded by solid crosses. – Slight signs of age and wear, corroded brown, original finishes all around.
