It was probably made in a village in the Sivas region, i.e. the far north east of Cappadocia. A comparative example from the Megalli Collection published recently probably belongs to the same group, but the more static appearance of its design suggests that it is considerably later in date. \u2013 Three nested diamonds with bold serrated outlines are aligned on the central axis of the salmon field and surrounded by widely spaced stars, hexagons enclosing stars and parmakli designs. Brown merlons with fine blue outlines protrude inwards and outwards along the sides \u2013 the ancient mural crown motif \u2013 to form a protective barrier against hostile outside influences. Reciprocal trefoils composed of triangles border the field at both ends. The subtle palette and perfectly balanced composition make this kilim a masterpiece of the finest aesthetic quality. It was discovered in Anatolia by Konzett, then still cut into four segments, and later sensitively restored. \u2013 Missing sections, the sides are incomplete in places.

According to Hirsch and Stanzer who discussed the kilim in the TKF publication, \"Textil Kunst Feuer\", it was woven by a Turkic-speaking tribal group and intended for a funeral ceremony. After the burial, such cult kilims were donated to the local mosque and thus preserved. Hirsch writes that he is aware of just three examples of this type. \u2013 Like many of the Poppmeier kilims, this piece is striking on account of its highly abstract design and reduction to essentials. The weaver deliberately dispensed with secondary and decorative motifs. Four large, nested, serrated diamonds in subtle pastel shades are aligned on the central axis of the empty sand-coloured field which conveys a sense of calm. Instead of a detailed border design, the aubergine lateral sections are decorated with sharp points and long, highly stylised tulips. They represent a protective barrier against evil outside influences from which the deceased had to be shielded. An example comparable in size and concept is illustrated in \"100 Kelims\". \u2013 Both ends reduced, signs of age and wear, minor holes.","index":"A95\/31","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"PETSOPOULOS 1991, Nr. 35","published":"DIENES\/REINISCH 2001, Nr. 156 *** TKF 2002, Tf. 35 *** REINISCH 2018, TP 19, S. 106 und 107","height":"280","origin_id":"11","highlight":"1","age":"Ca. 1800 or earlier","dimensions":"280 x 90 cm","region":"Central Anatolia, Cappadocia","price":"3,000.00","price_gbp":"2,576.70","price_usd":"3,390.60","price_double":3000,"maxprice":"3,700.00","maxprice_gbp":"3,177.93","maxprice_usd":"4,181.74","maxprice_double":3700,"hammerprice":"15,000.00","hammerprice_gbp":"12,883.50","hammerprice_usd":"16,953.00","hammerprice_double":15000,"endprice":"18,450.00","endprice_gbp":"15,846.71","endprice_usd":"20,852.19","endprice_double":18450},"flag":{"result":false,"pricedisplay":"endprice","endprice":true,"hammerprice":false,"literature":true,"published":true,"wishlist":false,"zoomify":true}},{"data":{"id":"29145","auction_id":"35","auction_headline":"<li class=\"auction_heading\">\n<h1 class=\"catalogue\">POPPMEIER COLLECTION II<\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"date\">Saturday 23.

Composed of only a few large shapes, the design achieves an arresting visual effect. Each of the ten wide horizontal panels, separated by bands of narrow monochrome stripes, contains a cartouche with sharply serrated sides enclosing a large hooked diamond. The hooked diamonds are positioned at the exact centre, combining into a vertical axis which counterbalances the horizontal bias of the composition. The sides of the field are decorated with parmakli designs. \u2013 Previously published in \"Orient Stars\", this very rare kilim once belonged to the Kirchheim Collection. The coherent composition has led Dienes\/Reinisch to assume that a second half did not exist. \u2013 Several missing areas, both ends reduced.

The wide main border displays large flowers in subtle pastel shades on an apricot ground, accompanied by minutely drawn, geometric motifs.

The criteria for their assessment have changed over the course of time. Initially almost disregarded by collectors, kilims featuring large empty spaces now rank at the very top. Theodor Poppmeier, whose eye has been trained by his long-standing study of abstract art, felt particularly attracted by these pieces and was one of the first to recognise the magic aura of such minimalist works of art. \u2013 Enlivened by wave-like nuances in colour, the azure field is completely empty, as are the narrow, monochrome salmon surround and the yellow stripes at both ends. The weaver merely added small apotropaic symbols in the brocading technique in a very few places. The kilim has a mysterious presence that is hard to put into words, although any sensitive observer will be struck by it. Dienes\/Reinisch assume that this cult kilim was made for a funeral ceremony and later donated to the local mosque. Very finely woven without slits (the wefts are interlocked at the points of transition from the field to the border), this example is probably from the Aksaray region. Another kilim in the Poppmeier Collection presenting an empty blue field, albeit in combination with a central medallion, serrated borders and bolder colours, was woven in North West Anatolia. A further comparable piece is a greatly reduced kilim from the Megalli Collection (now in the Textile Museum, Washington, DC) which was published very recently. \u2013 Several larger missing sections, cut horizontally in one place so a short piece of the original length may be missing.

This regional attribution is suggested by the generous composition and the dimensional ratio of the border and central field. There are various indications of a provenance among the Uzbek Lakai tribes: the specific style of drawing, individual designs such as the botehs divided in two by colour change and the lancet leaves, the colour combinations (e.g. light blue, aubergine and light green in juxtaposition), the delicate embroidered seams, and \u2013 a particularly characteristic feature \u2013 the detached motifs of the main border. \u2013 A dark blue stem bearing plain dark blue leaves grows diagonally from the lower left corner, branching off into many tendrils across the whole of the field. Thirteen large, pink and rose fan-shaped blossoms are suspended from it, their tips curving in a striking sickle shape. Larger-scale blossoms of the same type encircled by blue stems appear to float freely in the wide border, interspersed with delicately drawn, elongated diagonal stems, each bearing thirteen small, stylised blossoms resembling hooks. Two narrow guard borders contain blue vines with light-blue flowers. \u2013 The six-panel foundation is a golden yellow silk taffeta, probably imported, onto which the design has been embroidered directly, without using an additional layer of cotton fabric. The extraordinarily fine embroidery is in the rare \"chinda khayol\" technique where the threads run exactly perpendicular and parallel, creating a hermetic surface of slightly relief-like appearance which achieves an iridescent moir\u00e9 effect. \u2013 Several horizontal tears in the silk foundation, good overall condition.","index":"A95\/71","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"VOK 1994, Nr. 39 = RIPPON BOSWELL, A 91, 2017, # 213","published":"TKF 2002, Tf. 83 *** REINISCH 2018, TP 118, S. 130 - 131","height":"206","origin_id":"32","highlight":"1","age":"1850 \u2013 1875","dimensions":"206 x 177 cm","region":"Central Asia, South West Uzbekistan","price":"2,500.00","price_gbp":"2,147.25","price_usd":"2,825.50","price_double":2500,"maxprice":"3,300.00","maxprice_gbp":"2,834.37","maxprice_usd":"3,729.66","maxprice_double":3300,"hammerprice":"9,000.00","hammerprice_gbp":"7,730.10","hammerprice_usd":"10,171.80","hammerprice_double":9000,"endprice":"11,070.00","endprice_gbp":"9,508.02","endprice_usd":"12,511.31","endprice_double":11070},"flag":{"result":false,"pricedisplay":"endprice","endprice":true,"hammerprice":false,"literature":true,"published":true,"wishlist":false,"zoomify":true}},{"data":{"id":"29397","auction_id":"36","auction_headline":"<li class=\"auction_heading\">\n<h1 class=\"catalogue\">Major Spring Auktion<\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"date\">Saturday 25.
