The powerful hexagonal shield medallion with a circular centre of concentric rings has wide design panels emanating from it like the spokes of a large wheel, creating a positively explosive effect like a ball of fire. Taube devotes a highly readable article to large medallion suzanis (pp. 75 - 80) in which he documents the subgroups and conducts a comparative analysis. In his monograph, \"The Great Embroideries of Bukhara\" \u2013 a catalogue of the 54 examples known in the year 2000 \u2013 Franses undertakes a division into design groups. The Vok suzani falls into Group A and is listed as A 10. When first published in a HALI article by Pinner and Franses in 1978, it was still in the Voigt Collection, M\u00fcnster. It was exhibited in Greven in 1979. Vok purchased this LM suzani in our November 1997 sale. \u2013 Slight signs of age and wear, several minor restored areas. Very good overall condition. Backed with canvas.","index":"A86\/88","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"HERRMANN, EBERHART, Asiatische Teppich- und Textilkunst 2. Munich 1990, no. 67 *** VOK, IGNAZIO, Vok Collection. Suzani.

The golden yellow motifs have been drawn on a red ground. Carpets of this design are depicted in two paintings (1542 and 1547) by the Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto (1480 \u2013 1556), a circumstance from which the group derives its current name. Its provenance in the surroundings of Ushak in West Anatolia is considered a certainty. This small-format example presents a \u201ckilim style\u201d field design and a cobalt blue \u201cragged palmette\u201d border with a succession of, alternately, serrated palmettes, diagonal crosses decorated with spirals and dividing bars. It belongs to the same sub-group as an example in the Bruckenthal Museum of Sibiu (inv. no. 1623) and probably dates from the late 17th century. \u2013 The ends were repiled some time ago and are now faded in colour. The flatwoven blue selvedges have largely survived in their original condition. Corroded black-brown, minor repiled sections in the field.","index":"A87\/145","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"IONESCU, STEFANO (ed.), Die Osmanischen Teppiche in Siebenb\u00fcrgen.

However, a critical examination quickly confirms that many of the recently published rugs woven in this distinctive design are late examples with rigid drawing, partially using chemical dyes; in some cases they are even modern reproductions falsely marketed as antiques. In fact, the number of early examples remains very small. \u2013 Judging by its border design, style of drawing and specific palette, this Star Kazak from an old Danish private collection belongs to type C. Its field design of large and not very regular shapes appears compact and powerfully expressive. We believe that the piece may have been woven as early as the 18th century. \u2013 Obvious signs of age and wear, missing sections, heavy damage to the pile in places.

Each design has a diamond with two long vertical points at its centre. Harking back to Persian models, the palmette design has been translated into the geometric style of Caucasian flatweaves in the characteristic way. Unlike the wealth of designs seen in comparable Kuba kilims, this example is dominated by undecorated colour sections, imbuing it with a sense of serenity, tranquillity and vibrant depth. The narrow white border contains rare comb motifs, their diagonal sides alternately facing inwards or outwards. They may be representations of abstract birds. Only two kilims of this type have been published to date, both of them by Herrmann. Vok purchased the blue-ground example published in 1985.

The bride spent many years preparing for this important event. In Uzbekistan, a bride was expected to bring into the marriage a dowry of a number of suzanis in different formats. They were prestige objects created by herself and the other women in her family with meticuluous attention to detail. Uninitiated Western observers perceive the designs and motifs of these embroideries as surface decoration in splendid colours, but actually they carry veiled messages and deep symbolic meaning. Often in a hidden form no longer comprehensible to us, they manifest dreams, hopes and expectations \u2013 of happiness, health, a long life as well as fertility, which was of utmost importance for the survival of the tribes. \u2013 In this colourful example \u2013 immediately identifiable as a work from Shakhrisyabz by the embroidery technique using kanda khayol filling stitches, the palette and the style of the designs \u2013 the composition is dominated by four large flowering trees running diagonally into the corners of the field. Their starting-point, an eight-pointed medallion enclosing a star shape decorated with flowers and a central red circular blossom, is inconspicuous. Although this field design was always associated with Nurata in the past, it was ubiquitous and employed in various embroidery centres, as is amply proven by this suzani. Drawn in a very free and generous style, the main border of this item is a remarkable and particularly attractive feature, with serrated dark green diagonal leaves linked to form a vine and fan-shaped, brilliant red flowers attached to delicate stems. The lively shape of the vine and the dancing lightness of the flowers blend into a fascinating rhythm. \u2013 Minor restored areas in the foundation, very good overall condition.
