The camel field contains a huge shield medallion with a large star-filled octagon attached at each end. Why the Kurdish weaver came to choose the characteristic medallion of Sevan Kazaks for her rug, and how she knew about it, remains a mystery. She added her own folkloric touch by incorporating four large female figures and two henna plants into the medallion. Four further female figures as well as rosettes and botehs are depicted outside the medallion. \u2013 Slight signs of age and wear, original finishes all around.","index":"A99\/14","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"","published":"","height":"224","origin_id":"20","highlight":"1","age":"Mid 19th century","dimensions":"224 x 117 cm","region":"North West Persia, Kurdistan","price":"3,600.00","price_gbp":"3,250.15","price_usd":"4,377.24","price_double":3600,"maxprice":"no reserve","maxprice_gbp":"no reserve","maxprice_usd":"no reserve","maxprice_double":0,"hammerprice":"7,500.00","hammerprice_gbp":"6,771.15","hammerprice_usd":"9,119.25","hammerprice_double":7500,"endprice":"9,375.00","endprice_gbp":"8,463.94","endprice_usd":"11,399.06","endprice_double":9375},"flag":{"result":false,"pricedisplay":"endprice","endprice":true,"hammerprice":false,"literature":false,"published":false,"wishlist":false,"zoomify":true}},{"data":{"id":"30820","auction_id":"41","auction_headline":"<li class=\"auction_heading\">\n<h1 class=\"catalogue\">Major Autumn Auction<\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"date\">Saturday 05.

The field, the wide, undecorated outer stripe and every second compartment of the border are woven in the same reddish fawn ground colour so that the design appears light and transparent. Three large asymmetric g\u00fcls with serrated outlines and two vertical points, each enclosing a star and the characteristic Chodor vines, are aligned on the horizontal central axis. They are flanked by short diagonal stems bearing small blossoms. Eight alternately light red and white ertmen g\u00fcls with abstract birds are offset against them. Truncated by the border, they appear as halved forms. The 62 flowers drawn in a distinctive style in the cassette border are only encountered in Chodor weavings. \u2013 This jollar deviates from the almost obligatory design principle of Turkmen rugs \u2013 primary g\u00fcls and smaller secondary g\u00fcls \u2013 in that both g\u00fcl types are equivalent here. It is exceptionally fine in weave and probably belongs to the P-Chodor group. Another P-Chodor jollar was exhibited in Hamburg in 1993, but differs in field design. The same asymmetric g\u00fcls can be found in two chuvals in American collections (Ellis in \u201cTurkmen\u201c and Munkacsi in \u201cAtlantic Collections\u201d). \u2013 Both sides minimally reduced and newly overcast, original upper and lower finishes, the kilim back has not survived.

This cover in a geometric, abstract design of diamonds and flat hexagons is one of the most beautiful surviving examples. It is woven on a tricoloured warp in yellow, blue and red. Wefts dyed in analogous shades have been used to achieve a tricoloured division of the surface. The wide red centre is bordered by blue lateral bands resembling columns. Their deeply incised, horizontal parmakli outlines interlock both the red field and the two outer yellow bands. The triad of colours, the power of the composition and the well-balanced proportions are features which make this flatweave particularly attractive. Tiny supplementary motifs have been added in only a few places, so unlike other examples of this group the cover does not appear crowded. Estate of the sculptor Emil Cimiotti. \u2013 Very good condition.","index":"A99\/53","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"","published":"RIPPON BOSWELL, A 42, 20\/05\/1995, lot 187","height":"210","origin_id":"40","highlight":"1","age":"Second half 19th century","dimensions":"210 x 172 cm","region":"South Caucasus, Azerbaijan","price":"4,800.00","price_gbp":"4,333.54","price_usd":"5,836.32","price_double":4800,"maxprice":"no reserve","maxprice_gbp":"no reserve","maxprice_usd":"no reserve","maxprice_double":0,"hammerprice":"6,000.00","hammerprice_gbp":"5,416.92","hammerprice_usd":"7,295.40","hammerprice_double":6000,"endprice":"7,500.00","endprice_gbp":"6,771.15","endprice_usd":"9,119.25","endprice_double":7500},"flag":{"result":false,"pricedisplay":"endprice","endprice":true,"hammerprice":false,"literature":false,"published":true,"wishlist":false,"zoomify":true}},{"data":{"id":"30809","auction_id":"41","auction_headline":"<li class=\"auction_heading\">\n<h1 class=\"catalogue\">Major Autumn Auction<\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"date\">Saturday 05.

Dudin saw such embroideries when visiting the Merv Oasis in 1901\/1902. However, the various design concepts would indicate that probably not all of them can be attributed to the Tekke. One thing is certain: these either four- or five-sided embroideries, which always have a white ground, performed the ceremonial decorative function of asmalyks. \u2013 Previously unpublished, our asmalyk is an early example of outstanding artistic merit that slumbered in a French collection for many decades. It is one of the rectangular examples which are far rarer than the pentagonal asmalyks with a gable. Embroidered in light and harmonious colours, the field design consists of five bold blossoming trees of two different types aligned side by side. The lively effect of the airy composition is created by changes in motif between trees with upturned blossoms and those with curved drooping branches laden with an abundance of bell-shaped flowers (\u201cbleeding heart\u201d = lamprocapnos spectabilis). In the wide, lavishly decorated border, large star-shaped blossoms alternate with small diamonds surrounded by four undulating red flowers. \u2013 A particularly fascinating feature for connoisseurs of Turkmen folk art is the figural representation at the centre of the upper border. We see two horsemen mounted on a blue and a red horse who face one another. They are holding bows in their hands and are either warriors or huntsmen. Three red male figures are depicted standing between them in front view: two musicians playing the Turkmen lute (dutar bash) on the left and right, with a dancer shown in movement slightly higher in the centre. The iconographic significance of the scene relates to wedding celebrations. Embroidered in silk yarn in diverse colours (red, yellow, orange, two shades of green), with small details in red and blue wool, the design has been applied to an ivory cotton foundation in warp-faced plainweave. The thin stems and other design details embroidered in black silk have almost disappeared due to corrosion. The following stitches can be found: ilmoq stitch has been used for the smaller blossoms and all the leaves, while the large calyx flowers at the top of the trees are very finely worked in the basma stitch. \u2013 Small sections of the embroidery are missing in the upper left corner. Very good overall condition, the original selvedges survive all around. The only damage is to the flatwoven, decorative woollen bands with a silk fringe which are attached to a thin fabric backing along the sides and bottom.","index":"A99\/142","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"PINNER, ROBERT & FRANSES, MICHAEL, Turkoman Studies I.
