Previously unknown, this example is a masterpiece of its kind, with glowing colours and a dense, velvety pile. It was consigned from an old German private collection and is published for the first time in this catalogue. Woven in pairs in the kejebe design, such trappings adorned the flanks of the bridal camel when the bride was led to her groom on the day of their wedding. Examples showing one, two or three of the large darvaza g\u00fcls (freely translated: gate of heaven) are known. In this magnificent example, with two darvarza g\u00fcls, the weave is so extraordinarily fine that even the minute designs of the delicate border are drawn with precision. The field and interior of the two primary g\u00fcls have been knotted in different shades of red. Several sections of the pile are of lustrous, ruby red silk, which is less corroded here than in comparable examples. In design layout and distribution of the silk sections, a somewhat smaller example from the Thompson Collection, published in Carpet Magic, best compares with our piece. \u2013 Three vertical tears at the lower edge, various short tears at the top edge. Original finishes all around; the pile has been preserved at its original height.","index":"A79\/150","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"THOMPSON, JON, Carpet Magic.

It is part of a longer panel showing several scenes. Such narrow woven wall hangings were produced as commissions for aristocrats or wealthy citizens and hung above benches. Frequently they contain banderoles and escutcheons. The exact provenance of tapestries from the Upper Rhine can rarely be determined with certainty. They were woven in small workshops in the surroundings of Basel and Strasbourg. However, as our tapestry shows stylistic similarities to representations of figures and plants in a tapestry kept in the Muri-Gries monastery of Bolzano, which was woven in a Basel workshop, we assume that it was also produced in Basel. \nOn a blue ground, the tapestry depicts an execution by the wheel, watched by spectators. Possibly based on an Old Testament story, the execution scene is not conclusive enough in iconography to attribute it to a specific Bible passage. At the lower end of the picture, an unclothed man is sprawled on the ground, cruelly bound with leather thongs to stakes rammed into the ground to render him immobile. An executioner wearing a medieval outfit of red trousers and blue doublet, with a two-handed sword at his side, stands over him, lifting a spoked wheel in both hands to smash down on the delinquent, who is already bleeding from the mouth. The drastic representation corresponds to the medieval narrative style, which was extremely descriptive and often graphic. Four figures are standing in the left half of the picture. The central figure of the group is a king assuming a judges\u2019s pose: wearing a crown and a cloak trimmed with ermine, he holds a long sceptre crowned by a lily in his right hand while pointing to the condemned man with his left. The woman standing beside the judge, wearing a pleated hood, looks at him, her hand raised before her chest in a gesture of apology. A man seen near the upper left-hand edge of the picture is a mere spectator; another man inside a pen fenced by wooden slats is using a bludgeon on a dog that is attacking him. A large tree is depicted on the right-hand side of the picture; before it stands a horse, of which only the head, neck and chest are visible as the tapestry has been cut there. \n\nWhen attempting an interpretation of the execution scene, we must first emphasise that execution by the wheel was reserved for robbers and murderers. In this context, the tapestry would have served as a deterrent against such crimes. However, it is also conceivable that the scene shows the execution of an adulterer or rapist. In accordance with the Old Testament, adultery was punishable by death. If adultery took place \u201cin the fields\u201d, the woman was presumed innocent and only the man was punished. However, in that case execution would have been by stoning. It is unlikely that we will determine the exact historical reference of the scene depicted here. The moralising message of the image fits in well with the social context of the late Middle Ages \u2013 a period of change and loose morals, which was deplored by many contemporaries at the time. - The tapestry is finely and carefully woven, with some details executed in silk. A small section of the original selvedge survives at the upper right-hand edge; the remainder of the tapestry has been cut all around and backed with fabric.","index":"A79\/172","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"RAPP BURI, ANNA & STUCKY-SCH\u00dcRER, MONICA, zahm und wild.

The inner sides of the field are decorated with red trees aligned towards the central axis. The extra-wide border shows floral ornaments, including vases and star-shaped flowers of a strikingly expressive style, on a midnight blue ground; the overall border design conveys an impression of rampant, abundant flora. Frequently encountered in Tabriz weavings, the design symbolises the eternal cycle of nature. The central motif represents the live-giving sun at its zenith, which brings out the flowers in nature, while the cut designs depict sunrise and sunset. The example offered here was purchased by the collector from Ulrich Sch\u00fcrmann in Cologne in 1975; it is a true masterpiece in drawing and palette, constituting one of the most beautiful surviving examples of the group. An almost identical Farahan is in the collection of the Tehran Carpet Museum. \u2013 Both ends somewhat reduced, minimal repairs, in very good overall condition.","index":"A79\/186","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"AZADI, SIAWOSCH ULRICH, Persian Carpets.

It is considered one of the best examples of its kind, both aesthetically and in terms of quality of the materials used. The perfection of drawing seen in the designs, the spacious composition and rich, luminous colours are evidence of its great age. Several sections of the g\u00fcls have been woven in ruby silk that is now corroded, indicating it was probably dyed with lac, an insect dye. The assumption that Salor main carpets showing this level of perfection were made in workshops owned by the tribe is now increasingly gaining acceptance. Always highly prestigious, these pieces appear to have been produced on commission at times. \u2013 The first Salor main carpet was published by Grote-Hasenbalg in 1922, then still described as an Afghan. The Salor from the McMullan Collection is now in the Metropolitan Museum of New York. The Salor in the St. Petersburg Hermitage Museum is one of the largest known examples, with 6 x 13 primary g\u00fcls and a length of almost four metres. Further examples can be found in the literature listed below. \u2013 The original, flatwoven two-colour selvedges are largely intact, the kilim ends have been lost. Surprisingly well preserved, almost free from repairs, the secondary g\u00fcls are heavily corroded in places.","index":"A80\/158","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"GROTE-HASENBALG, WERNER, Der Orientteppich.

Distinctly abstract and modern in appearance, it could almost be a design by an Art Deco artist. In great art, the evocative nature of a piece is always an important attribute of quality. The Battilossi carpet of identical design published in the catalogue of \"Glanz der Himmelss\u00f6hne\", an exhibition held at the Cologne Museum f\u00fcr Ostasiatische Kunst, is square and substantially larger in size.

At the centre of the field, which is decorated with a swastika meander lattice in yellows and dusky pinks, lies a disc medallion showing four foliate dragons on a heavily corroded, rosewood-coloured ground; the latter can be read as a reciprocal device constituting a perfectly symmetrical cruciform design. The border shows the swastika meander vine that is characteristic for the period. As usual in early Chinese carpets, the design appears simple only at first glance, revealing its complexity when examined more closely. Two carpets published by Herrmann and Tabibnia display foliate dragons of the same style. \u2013 Obvious signs of age and heavy corrosion in the red sections.
