small red-ground rug from the Shirvan area is striking with its unusual and very rare design that appears to have no direct successors. Four large vertical cartouches with white surrounds dominate the corners of the field. The mirrored interior drawing of white, seemingly totemic designs, possibly animal-tree symbols, stands out boldly from their midnight blue ground. Five octagons and two slender midnight blue bars which taper to triangular points at the top, resembling obelisks, have been placed between them at the field centre. Four small birds and a number of botehs complete the main design. The white main border is filled with small hexagonal cartouches in changing colours, aligned like beads on a string and with inner hooks that may be animal symbols. Very finely woven and minutely detailed in drawing, this unique rug probably dates from the 18th century. The meaning of its design has not been deciphered yet, but it may be associated with older garden carpets. (DM)<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Exhibited: Hamburg Deichtorhallen 1993; Stuttgart, Linden-Museum 1993<\/p>","index":"1","index2":"","intro":"<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\r\n<h2>Orient Stars 2<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The "Orient Stars" collection assembled by E. Heinrich and Waltraut Kirchheim is one of the most important rug compilations in the world. Consistently targeting objects of art historic and cultural importance, it rivals the holdings of major museums. On the occasion of the 7th International Conference on Oriental Carpets held in Hamburg in the summer of 1993, the entire collection then comprising 218 objects was exhibited for the first time at the Deichtorhallen. The magnificent book "Orient Stars. A Carpet Collection" was published at the same time and has since become a milestone in rug literature. The exhibition later travelled from Hamburg to Stuttgart where it was on show at the Linden-Museum for two months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Publication of their treasured carpets marked a high point in the collecting lives of the Kirchheims, but at the same time it was a hiatus and a departure from the rug groups that had attracted their interest in the beginning. Like so many other collectors, they had initially focused on 19th century Caucasian rugs. Their purchase of the "Bellini" carpet in 1986, which Heinrich Kirchheim first called a "fling", turned out to be a momentous decision. It opened the door for the Kirchheims to the fascinating world of historic Anatolian rugs. They now expanded their compilation with a view to this new collecting field which gradually came to replace their previous preferences. The Kirchheims acquired Anatolian kilims and village rugs of the so-called \u201cyellow group\u201d. The 1990 exhibition of the collection compiled by the American architect Christopher Alexander, comprising early and largely fragmented carpets, had a profound influence on Heinrich Kirchheim, heralding a change in paradigms. After meeting the Kirchheims at the TEFAF fair in Maastricht, Michael Franses invited the couple to Istanbul for a museum tour in September 1991. Nazan \u00d6l\u00e7er, who at the time was the director of the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts in Istanbul, made it possible for them to view the best and oldest pieces in the museum. The Vakiflar Museum and the Topkapi Museum also opened their storerooms. This journey and the intense impressions of early Turkish carpets it gave them had a deep impact on the Kirchheims and became a defining moment in their lives. From then on their collecting activities focused on early Anatolian tribal rugs, and the Kirchheims went in search of the best and earliest examples that were still available or would emerge from time to time. While the preparations for the publication and the Hamburg and Stuttgart exhibitions were underway, Heinrich Kirchheim was tirelessly hunting for further gems and began to conceive a second exhibition, at the Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin, and second publication featuring the new acquisitions, some of which were spectacular. At the time, Michel Franses had already agreed to write a second book.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Following the major events of 1993, the Kirchheims began restructuring their collection. They needed to decide which pieces were absolutely essential and which they would be prepared to part with. First a number of museums received generous donations: the Linden-Museum in Stuttgart, the Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin und the Museum Schloss Rheydt in M\u00f6nchengladbach. Six early Anatolian carpets went on loan to the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and were exhibited there from 1993\/94 to 2012. A decision was then taken to sell a major part of the collection at auction. Our \u201cOrient Stars\u201d auction of 88 carpets, kilims, silk embroideries and other textiles took place 22 years ago, on 2nd October 1999. At the time, the famous type A Star Kazak achieved the highest hammer price of DM 290,000. The proceeds of the sale were invested in new acquisitions. Several pieces published in \u201cOrient Stars\u201d, but not included in the catalogue of this second auction, were sold privately to fund the acquisition of the 32 objects purchased as of 1993.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Private art collections are dynamic rather than static. They reflect the changing perspectives of their owners and illustrate a process of development. Similarly, the nature of the Orient Stars Collection changed after 1993. Most of the new acquisitions are fragments of very old and rare Anatolian tribal rugs, and they will nearly all be published for the first time in Michael Franses\u2019 new book. The established "classics" among Anatolian rugs \u2013 the textbook types from the Ottoman period traditionally exported to Europe \u2013 had ceased to captivate Heinrich Kirchheim. His search for the origins led him to nomad tribal rugs and their ancient designs. Some examples surfaced in Turkey; others emerged in areas as remote as Tibet where they had survived in monasteries for centuries. Heinrich Kirchheim thus became the protagonist of a new philosophy, and there was no turning back from the path he had embarked upon. By then Michael Franses had become his chief consultant. Heinrich purchased a fairly large group of early Anatolian tribal rugs from Garry Muse who had sold important pieces to the Kirchheims before. Further pieces were sourced from other art dealers or at auctions. The collection now numbers a total of 95 pieces. The sensational "Faces" rug, no. 218 in the first book, is the oldest known Anatolian carpet dating from the Islamic era. Carbon dating carried out at ETH Zurich proves that it was made in the period between 1050 and 1200. It has always been the collection\u2019s pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The plans that Heinrich Kirchheim had been pursuing came to a sudden end with his early death in 2006. The Berlin exhibition never took place, and the project for a second publication was suspended. When in 2019 the Kirchheim family decided to sell the collection at auction and commissioned us with the project, we agreed immediately to cooperate closely with Michael Franses, who knows the objects in the collection like no other. At the request of the heirs Michael began working on the second book, making good on an old promise he had given to his friend Heinrich. \u201cOrient Stars 2\u201d will have the same format and design as the first book, and 75 items in the collection will either be illustrated for the first time or republished and discussed in detail according to the latest findings. Its date of publication is September 2021. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our \u201cOrient Stars 2\u201d auction will offer all 95 rugs and other textiles as well as three rare specialist books on historic carpets. Our descriptions of the objects in the catalogue are either citations from descriptions in the \u201cOrient Stars 2\u201d publication and identified as such by (MF = Michael Franses), or else they are our own descriptions identified by (DM = Detlef Maltzahn). However, the latter follow the gist of Michael\u2019s discussions, including the details he gives on age, provenance and iconography.

As a loan from the Kirchheim Collection, it was on view at the 1985 \u201cAlte Orientteppiche\u201d exhibition at the Munich V\u00f6lkerkundemuseum and republished in the catalogue by Martin Volkmann (no. 64). Later, in 1993, it was exhibited at the Hamburg Deichtorhallen. \u2013 There are less than ten surviving examples of this rare group of early Caucasian village rugs with a golden yellow field and a black-ground border. They are so similar in their field and border designs, colours and dimensions that careful examination is needed to detect the differences. In the pre-commercial period, i.e. before 1850, the often isolated villages and tribal communities had their own design traditions that remained unchanged for many generations. Reminiscent of garden carpets, the field design is an endless repeat of tree forms, blossoms and smaller motifs placed in offset rows and drawn in the geometrical style of the Caucasus. In this organisational form and in the guise of a floral composition, we encounter a whole cosmos of mythological animal figures and pictograms encrypted to varying degrees. The same is true for the ornamentation of the white vine in the main border which is only apparently floral. \u2013 The fact that such a piece was in the Albert Figdor Collection before 1930 shows that true cognoscenti recognised the beauty and artistic merit of these colourful Kuba rugs at an early stage.

In the red field, large rosettes divided into eight segments are arranged in an apparently casual way with a floating lightness. Small rosettes likewise composed of eight segments fill the spaces between the primary ornaments. In the upper left corner we see a small, highly abstracted figure extending its arms. The knotting structure and the border design of three equally wide bands decorated with reciprocal trefoils in different colour combinations are typical features of Borjalou Kazaks.

The oldest surviving examples are usually dated to the 18th century. In terms of their designs and ornaments, the formal language of sumakhs is not inherently different from that of the pile rugs in the regions where they were woven; only their style of drawing is distinctly geometrical on account of the technique. \u2013 Woven in a long format, this impressive sumakh is one of the early examples dating from around 1800 or earlier. It is very finely woven with many carefully worked details, and its rich range of colours is impressive. At the centre of the field, five large Lesghi stars in two different colour combinations form a design bar on the black-brown ground, and the free spaces along the sides are densely filled with tree motifs and small ornaments. The surrounding red field is thickly covered in hook forms and blossoms which extend around the stars almost like a protective wall. In the black-brown main border, a vine zigzags around forms that can be read as halved polygons or abstract animals. The fineness of the weave, stylistic features and the palette suggest that this sumakh originates from the Kuba-Shirvan region.

The net-like open-work cotton foundation of the field is not embroidered all over. Here, the design sections stand out from the ground with a three-dimensional effect. The subtle palette of pastel shades (mid and light blue, dusky pink, jade green, ochre, beige, white) as well as three browns and black outlines is a characteristic feature of this group of antique textiles from Azerbaijan, for which Sch\u00fcrmann coined the term \u201cSurahani\u201d. He believed that they were Caucasian pieces made in Baku, the large coastal city in the Russian part of Azerbaijan. This has been contradicted by more recent research. It is now assumed that the embroideries were produced in Tabriz, in the North West Persian part of Azerbaijan. \u2013 Square silk embroideries of this size served as wrapping cloths for women\u2019s personal utensils. Like comparable cloths made in Anatolia, they are known as \"bok\u00e7e\u201c. Their designs present a wealth of different compositions. Here, the central field is dominated by a large eight-pointed star with a dark brown ground and an inner white octagon radiating eight arrows. It is surrounded by a vine of geometrical motifs. Four light blue cartouches fill the lateral spaces, and the corners contain truncated octagons enclosing a star. The border is decorated with arrow forms alternating with pinwheel motifs.

Eight of the palmettes are almost identical in shape and colour. Each is enclosed in a white, cypress-like form with deeply incised serrated outlines along its sides. The same motif is often encountered in Caucasian dragon rugs. The ninth palmette in the middle of the field is not only larger than the others and different in shape, but it is also contained in a wide dark brown heptagon. This central motif immediately catches the eye. The free spaces left by the primary design are filled with eight smaller palmettes cut by the horizontal borders at the upper and lower ends of the field as well as various flowers. The leaf and calyx design of the narrow white main border was widespread in the Caucasus. \u2013 Only five antique originals of this group are known, including the frequently published example from the Protestant Church of Szepsiszentgy\u00f6rgy, Transylvania (see V\u00e9gh\/Layer). The two primary motifs of the latter alternate regularly, and its design is more closely spaced than that of the Kirchheim rug, which is outstanding in its clarity of composition. Teodor Tuduc, the Romanian master forger, must have been aware of the Szepsiszentgy\u00f6rgy palmette rug, because he had several copies made which he later sold as \u201coriginals\u201d. The illustrations of some of his fakes in the publication by the fictitious author Dr Otto Ernst (itself a forgery) provided the basis for these transactions.

The narrow white field shows an ascending design composed of three large motifs that are all identical in drawing: a tree with a short trunk and two huge wing-like leaves branching off diagonally from the bottom, crowned with an angular palmette drawn in a geometrical style. The free spaces contain smaller palmettes, blossoms and rosettes, and two abstract blue birds are seen at the lower end. \u2013 A total of eight rugs with this distinctive design are known. Three of them used to belong to Arhan: aside from the piece purchased by Kirchheim, there is a second rug now owned by the Al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait, and a fragment now in a London private collection. Three of the five other palmette rugs are now in the Austrian MAK Museum, Vienna, the Ali Pasha Mosque, Tokat and the Islamic Museum of Doha, Qatar. Two others whose whereabouts are unknown were sold by Sotheby's, London, in 1983 and by Christie's, New York, in 1991. The Vienna example has a border similar to the Kirchheim rug.

Moreover, there is a strong resemblance to specific Azerbaijani silk embroideries from the 18th century. The large palmettes placed on the midline constitute the symmetrical axis of the composition, which is mirrored on either side, and also provide structure in the jumble of ornaments arranged diagonally and horizontally around them.

A remnant of a plain light blue border survives on the left. The archaic simplicity of the composition and distinct patina of the colours indicate an early date. According to Rageth (OS 1, p. 160), no directly comparable example is known. He surmised that the kilim from which this fragment derives could have measured around 200 x 140 cm, because this would correspond to the dimensions of sofrehs from the Balikesir region.

This attribution is suggested particularly by the colours, with a high proportion of aubergine, ochre and light green, as well as the way in which they are combined. The white field is divided into three rectangular compartments by two wide horizontal bars which are patterned in geometrically stylised abstract animals. Each compartment has a large cruciform medallion with parmakli outlines on its central axis. An indented blazing red form with parmakli outlines protrudes towards the centre from each side. Viewed as a whole, the impression created is that of a double niche design. The same abstract animals as those in the dividing bands are lined up along the upper and lower ends of the three sections of the field. The kilim once terminated in wide elems with two different design stripes. Only the inner stripe of the elem survives at one end, so originally the kilim would have been somewhat longer.

They consist of two halves mirrored on the horizontal central axis and joined to form an elongated lozenge with two vertical points. The sharp-edged and closely spaced motifs are interlocked so as to produce a complex overall picture full of tension and dynamic energy. The colour of the motifs changes from one row to the next. The elibelindes are woven in two colours (light red and light orange) in just one of the lower rows. All the other motifs are a monochrome light green, light red, azure, aubergine or dark brown. A narrow aubergine border of reciprocal hook forms decorated with small brocaded symbols effectively frames the field at the long sides. The wide three-band elems display varying designs. In the central band of the lower elem, we see large elibelinde motifs of a different type and of archaic appearance. Still open to a figural interpretation, they are an early form of this ancient design that was once widespread throughout Anatolia, and to which a ritual symbolism is attributed. The central white band of the elem on the opposite end has abstract birds lined up in a row. \u2013 Very finely woven in colours of outstanding quality, this kilim dating from the pre-1800 period is one of the best surviving examples of its kind. The illustration in the catalogue of the 1990 Basel exhibition still shows the kilim in the state it was discovered. It was mounted on canvas prior to the exhibition of the Kirchheim Collection in Hamburg in 1993.

We have decided to illustrate the rug in the direction of the pile, i.e. with the pile pointing downwards. This allows us to clearly define the upper and lower ends of the carpet. The original dimensions of this very rare carpet remain a matter of speculation. The carpet was probably not much wider, but considerably longer. The two rows of facing salmon-pink double hooks at the lower end of the fragment may have served as dividing motifs that marked the centre of a mirror-image field design composed of several sections. All the cobalt blue motifs seen in the area above them are identical in drawing and vary only slightly in size. They offer little contrast to the aubergine ground, creating a mystical atmosphere. They stand out far more boldly in the salmon-pink horizontal stripe at the top. The weave, the wool and the dark palette suggest a provenance in East Anatolia.

It is therefore difficult to suggest a place of origin for this tapestry with its design of two mono-coloured dragons, and it is more appropriate to indicate a possible culture. According to Elena Tsareva, the peoples of the Saka culture who wove similar woollen textiles may well have originated in the area around the upper reaches of the Yeniseysk River, perhaps not far from Lake Baikal in Siberia. This textile was reportedly acquired in western Mongolia. The same technique can be seen on skirts found in the Taklamakan Desert in present-day northwest China. People from the same tribe that wove this beautiful tapestry were possibly also located in the region around Shanpula. The largest number of patterned wool fabrics with similar techniques, colours and patterns have been excavated there. \u2013 The first study of Central Asian woollen textiles published outside China was carried out by the Abegg-Stiftung in Riggisberg in 2001: <em>Fabulous Creatures from the Desert Sands <\/em>accompanied an exhibition dedicated to Shanpula textiles. Several Shanpula-style textiles were also reportedly found in Mongolia, and they appear to be generally earlier than those excavated from sites along the southern Silk Road. The closest example to the Kirchheim tapestry is now in the Cotsen Textile Traces Study Collection in The Textile Museum Washington, DC. \u2013 Dragons tend to be associated primarily with ancient China, where they took on both curvilinear and stylised angular forms, but similar mythological creatures were also adopted by other cultures across Asia and later in Europe.

Almost completely preserved, it was probably made by members of the Saka Scythian group. The Scythians of Central Asia ruled a vast area for a long period of time. Their huge realm extended as far as the Black Sea coast, where Scythian artefacts, in particular gold and silver works, were discovered during excavations in Crimea. \u2013 Woven in just two shades of brown, the simply conceived design consists of eleven camels all facing to the right. One camel standing at the centre of the field is emphasised by its size and a rectangular frame. It is surrounded by a frieze-like arrangement of ten somewhat smaller camels that are identical in drawing, but vary considerably in size. We can only speculate on the meaning of the design and the purpose of the tapestry. Did it serve as a sitting mat, a wall hanging, a saddle cover or perhaps a burial gift?

The previous owner reported that they and the Camels tapestry (plate 2) were acquired together in Mongolia over eighty years ago. If they were made in the same location and at the same time, then the overlap in the radiocarbon-dating results might suggest a date of manufacture for both of around 400 BCE. \u2013 It is possible that these socks were in the possession of Scythians, whose homeland was in the Altai region but who also inhabited the area to the north of the Black Sea and parts of western Persia. As neither the Camels tapestry nor these socks are similar to any other woollen materials excavated so far in Central Asia, the probability is that they were made elsewhere, perhaps in western Persia (although no similar material has been found there either), and brought back to the Mongolian Altai. A more positive attribution might be possible after analysis of the yellow dye. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 3.

White ornaments resembling lilies, each with a long point and a pair of curled hooks, emanate from an equally white surround shaped like an elongated heart.

The detailed description in OS 1 (p. 350), with an interpretation of its enigmatic design that is worth reading, was written by Herrmann. The item is known as the \u201cFaces Rug\u201d on account of the two human faces looking straight at the viewer, each resting on a long column like a capital. \u2013 The historic, art historic and ethnological relevance of this piece cannot be overstated. The oldest surviving Anatolian rug from the Islamic period, it may have been woven as early as two hundred years before the Seljuk carpets and is much older than the Marby carpet in Stockholm or the dragon and phoenix rug in the Berlin museum, to name just a few famous examples. The Faces Rug takes us back to the period between 1050 - 1200. It probably already existed at the time the crusaders set out for the Holy Land and conquered Jerusalem in 1099. Scholars now agree that the carpet was woven by Kurds in East Anatolia. This is suggested not only by the style of the field design, but also by the technique using offset knots.

Over the past fifty years, the Turkish authorities have scoured every mosque in Anatolia, and while a few 15th- and 16th-century carpets have been discovered, no others have been found that can be attributed with any confidence to the 13th century. Consequently, the chances of an unknown example coming to light are extremely slight and it seems almost unbelievable that the Kirchheims managed to acquire a previously unknown section of a carpet that is similar to, and possibly from the same looms as some of the Seljuk-period carpets. It was one of several well-preserved carpets discovered in Tibet, and was reportedly removed from the Potala Palace in Lhasa by Chinese guards who were clearing out the basements of the Palace. The Potala fragment is so closely related in weave, wool and colours to the Seljuk-period carpets that it is hard to believe it was not made by the same people and at the same time. \u2013 On the surviving section of the Potala carpet are two red-ground compartments (one complete, the other only partial) surrounded by a border in what is termed a \u2018Kufic\u2019 style in red, outlined in ivory, on a light green ground. Each compartment is enclosed by a brown-ground minor border with large alternating 'S' and 'Z' motifs in several colours. In both of the compartments are small, boldly drawn swastika-like motifs. In the complete compartment these motifs appear to float up and out of the compartment like balloons through the clouds. It is impossible to say what the complete design must have looked like, as there are no comparative works. Nor do we know whether what we now see as the outer border was in fact the principal border of the full carpet, or perhaps there was originally a wider border surrounding it.

Three fragments have survived, and these have been reassembled to provide an almost complete picture of the upper half. The composition probably comprised two large compartments shaped like tall elongated octagons, arranged vertically and framed like pictures. Only the upper right corner survives of the lower octagon, but this is sufficient to establish with certainty that the two large animals placed in the upper octagon were depicted in identical form and size in the lower octagon, although they were inverted. \u2013 The names collectors give to their objects are sometimes based on personal associations. The Kirchheims called this early East Anatolian rug \u201cThe Spanish Riding School\", probably on account of the two mounts offset one behind the other in the upper compartment, raising a front leg as in dressage. Their long necks, small heads and the triangular shape on their back, which may depict the hump but looks more like a tent, clearly identify them as camels. Seeing that the carpet has a red ground throughout, including the border section, the overall design appears superimposed. The straight-lined main border drawn in the kufic style is particularly impressive.

Enough of the rug survived for Longevity Textile Conservation to be able to mount the sections so as to visually complete it, as presented here. The result was a rug with two red-ground rectangular compartments, each with a slightly squashed blue octagon with hooked edges. The octagons contain confronting and highly abstracted hooked creatures. In the upper part can be seen the long tail feathers and yellow ears of two phoenixes, and in the lower part is a stylised dragon. Judging from the C14 dating, this more archaic interpretation of dragons and phoenixes might pre-date the later, more \u2018realistic\u2019 versions. \u2013 The primary border pattern of a repeated stylised animal confrontation on brown is drawn with such exactness to suggest that this is not a misconceived floral design but clearly some ancient totemic motif that still retains its essence of confronting creatures. The yellow-ground outer guard and the ochre-ground inner guard borders are beautifully drawn, and their colours nothing short of spectacular. The pattern of the primary border can partially be related to the Zuber Lattice Tomb Cover. The latter is attributed to Kurdish weavers in eastern Anatolia, based on its use of offset knotting and its wool type.

Within each lattice compartment is what an art historian might describe as a \u2018palmette\u2019, suggesting that its origins lie in a plant of some sort. However, this rug is from a period during the long art history of Anatolian tribal patterns when plants and mythological creatures took on similar forms, and their interpretation today remains somewhat confused. \u2013 There is an alternative way to look at the design, by considering the blue, possibly representing the sky, as the background colour to the entire rug, both field and borders, rather than as a lattice. It features heavily in the field, covered in large brown creatures with additional beasts within them, then reappears as the background onto which the main border, the minor border and the white-on-red dotted lines between them have been dropped. What is background? What is pattern? Or are these concepts intended to be interchangeable? This is yet another part of the mystery still to be unravelled. \u2013 The primary border is a little clearer. Against a red background, a meandering green \u2018stem\u2019 appears to represent joined up and repeating creatures opposing another creature in a variety of different colours. The choice of colours and their juxtaposition were presumably not random, but carried meanings that are part of a language sadly unknown to us today. There are many authors who would simply see the border motifs as poorly drawn meandering stems and leaves. Students of tribal cultures, on the other hand, especially those concerned with ancient Central Asia, understand this Turkmen rug from Anatolia as being full of fabulous creatures: in the field, in the major and minor borders and in the end stripes. Islamic scholars rarely consider that the success of Islam \u2013 in particular in Central Asia \u2013 was that it absorbed, embraced and adapted aspects of the ancient cultures that it came across.

The complete composition cannot be extrapolated from what remains, but there is sufficient to determine a significant part of the field design. The octagon that survives in part in the upper left corner can be related to a number of other known carpets. These ornaments form part of an \u2018International Style\u2019 that was used on carpets from Spain to India during the 15th and 16th centuries. The kind of composition seen here, comprising either one or more large central rectangles, octagons or stars and often with smaller octagons in the corners or dividing rows, is a classic example of the type labelled Large Pattern Holbein. Carpets with these ornaments appear in a number of European paintings from the third quarter of the 15th century. \u2013 We do not know whether this carpet originally had only one eight-pointed star medallion, partially seen at the bottom of the fragment. It is always difficult to compare carpets such as this made in central Anatolia with those made in western Anatolia, whose colours are quite different. This carpet has partially depressed warps, like other examples from central Anatolia, whereas western Anatolian carpets from the 15th century tend to be of looser construction. Abstracted creatures and geometric forms are often found on central Anatolian carpets, whereas on those from further west the tendency is towards more floral designs, although there are of course exceptions.

In the corners of the surviving rectangle are triangular-shaped spandrels with what appear to be abstracted zoomorphic creatures in blue against a black background, similar to the triangular forms on plate 12. Also similar to the latter are the shape of the medallion and its pseudo-Kufic outer band. Some viewers might well interpret the border design as a meandering leaf stem with flowers on either side, but others will see pairs of creatures, possibly dragons, and the three-pronged ornament being the tail of a bird. Whether patterns started being floral and later evolved into abstracted creatures or vice versa is a continuing discussion. There can be little doubt that the weavers would have had the ability to portray plants, buds, flowers and leaf stems reasonably accurately if that was what was intended. On many other 16th- and 17th-century Anatolian rugs the patterns certainly appear to be more naturalistically floral. For the time being, we can say that the motifs on many of the carpets that I believe could be older appear to represent creatures rather than flora. What I am reasonably certain about is that much of the iconography used on carpets was selected to facilitate the passage of the soul to the next world, a journey through a sky door. These ornaments may well have been in Anatolia before the coming of the Turks and then became adopted and adapted into the repertoire of Turkmen ornament. Whether the original meanings from thousands of years before were known to the carpet weavers of the 11th to 17th centuries has yet to be demonstrated. \u2013 The looser construction, the minor border and the general colouration of this fragment are closer to the examples attributable to U\u015fak than to central Anatolian rugs, which might suggest an origin to the east of U\u015fak, but possibly still in western Anatolia.

A huge eight-pointed star placed at the centre of the red field encloses a large green and a small black octagon containing a Talish rosette. All the smaller ornaments within this central medallion are grouped symmetrically around the vertical axis, apparently moving away from the midpoint. Four jagged blue forms are arranged diagonally around the medallion, together with white triangles, small stars, arrows, blossoms and S-figures. The four-and-one composition is completed by four large octagons positioned in the corners of the field that have a mirror-image interior design of white hooks and crosses surrounding a Talish rosette. The central axis of the composition is accentuated by facing pairs of white triangles separated by a flower. The border is strikingly narrow, and it is possible that the main border and outer secondary border are missing.

(DM) - As Muse pointed out in 1993, the full pattern of this rug can be reconstructed from what remains: a central eight-pointed star medallion with similar quarter-medallions in the corners, set on a yellow background, with the stars outlined in red and black.<strong> <\/strong>Although some might see this as a centralised design because of the wide plain band of background that surrounds the corner motifs, I believe that the quarter-medallions in the corners were intended to create the impression of an endless repeat.

Here, though, beyond the corner pieces is an extra panel, the design of which is taken directly from a four-lobed U\u015fak carpet. \u2013 Sixteen four-lobed main carpets survive and these were all probably made circa 1450-1550. Thirteen are from the U\u015fak region and three from central Anatolia; just five are complete and eleven are fragmented to some degree. The earliest examples of the four-lobed U\u015fak carpets, such as the Haim carpet in Milan, have border patterns that belong firmly within the tribal rug repertoire. \u2013 While the overall composition seen on this Orient Stars fragment of an eight-pointed star medallion in the centre and quarter-medallions in the corners is similar to that on classical Star U\u015faks, the motifs within the medallions are very different, with archaic animal forms rather than the floral patterns of the latter. \u2013 The endless knots placed in the field around the central medallion are drawn in a manner not seen on other Anatolian rugs. Originally there would have been twelve, but only three survive. The rug does not have an inner minor border, and the pattern of the wide primary border is unique.

It exudes an atmosphere of tranquillity and harmony. This is due to the coherent composition which is conceived both vertically and horizontally in mirror image. Two light blue bridge-shaped prayer arches patterned in small colourful rosettes face each other at the ends of the russet field. Their sides are linked by a band identical in colour and design that surrounds the whole of the field, not touching its inner sides anywhere so it appears to float. This frame only opens to give space to the tops of the arches. A lamp is hanging from the apex of each arch. \u2013 Alternatively, the composition can be read as a wide shield motif with a rectangular centre. An octagon with yellow hooked outlines is surrounded by stars at its midpoint, flanked in the corners by four triangular ornaments reminiscent of abstract animals. The four corner sections outside the shield, or alternatively, next to the sides of the arch each contain a palmette surrounded by small octagons. The design of the narrow white-ground main border, a red ornamental band of closely packed small diamonds and colourful diagonal crosses, is not encountered in any other Anatolian rug. The deep purple seen here in some of the ornaments and the ground colour of the elems is only found in this quality in very old carpets. Certain 19th century Caucasian rugs are surprisingly similar in composition, reiterating the as yet unresolved question of the links that may have existed between the west and east.

The section from the left side is informative because it retains the outermost edge of the top left corner piece of the field as well as half of the central medallion, and the square section from the lower right corner of the field helps to reconstruct the central medallion. It has generally been assumed that the form of quatrefoil medallion on the famous Benguiat carpet in the Ballard Collection derived from Mongol cloud collars was unique among Anatolian carpets. In fact, although its internal detail is not found elsewhere, the general composition of lobes sitting on the vertical and horizontal axes can also be seen on the Bausback Three-Medallion U\u015fak .The Kirchheim carpet can now be added to the short list of comparisons, because sufficient of the pattern of the central medallion survives to strongly suggest that this also had a very similar form. Careful examination of the corner quarter-medallion on the smaller fragment and extrapolation of it to create a full medallion reveals a very similar quatrefoil shape. The meander primary border is often seen on late 15th- and early 16th-century carpets from western Anatolia in combination with several different field designs.

If, however, a reconstruction was created based on the assumption that approximately half survives, then the central medallion, placed within a large aubergine-coloured hexagonal inner or upper field, would have been formed by four geometric forms delineated in yellow. This central medallion has a corner piece in blue outlined in yellow on each of the diagonals, mirrored above and below. At the top and bottom ends of the medallion is an ornament akin to the Arabesque design. In 1993 (OS 1, page 329), Muse suggested that it may have been a prototype for the latter. However, I am more inclined to consider that it is a derivative. The motif here is extremely similar to that used on the refined, classical Arabesque rugs that were created possibly in the last quarter of the 15th century.<\/p>\n<p>Surrounding the aubergine hexagonal field is a larger, outer or lower field with a blue background, also hexagonal and with red flowers and leaves on the sides and possibly abstracted creatures at the ends. Other Anatolian rugs have similar patterning, but this example may well be the best drawn and probably is the oldest. The four corners of the field have patterns that lie somewhere between floral motifs and abstracted creatures against a green ground. The inner and outer minor borders have a continuous zigzag design that can be seen on many other rugs from western Anatolia dating from the late 15th century onwards. The primary border of a meandering floral stem appears on a number of west Anatolian carpets with a wide variety of field patterns. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 23.

One of the former is among the most commonly found ornaments on Anatolian rugs: the stepped and hooked g\u00fcl in an octagon. In the carpet world this is called the \u2018Memling g\u00fcl\u2019 after the 15th-century artist Hans Memling (ca. 1433 \u2013 1494) who depicted a table covered in a carpet patterned with this g\u00fcl. The second g\u00fcl on this rug, shaped like a diamond with hooks on the edges, often composed of small compartments but filled with a variety of interiors is named after the Florentine painter Domenico Ghirlandaio (1448 \u2013 1498), because rugs with this g\u00fcl appear in his paintings. The third g\u00fcl on this rug which appears only in the border here, was used on Anatolian carpets both in a repeating grid across the field and in borders. As a reciprocal design it can be viewed in two ways within its rectangle: either as a vertical cross with hooked ends which has a diamond centre and is set within an implied octagon; or as four anchor-like motifs pointing inwards from the corners. - This fragment is from a most intriguing rug and upon close inspection it presents more questions than answers. I have made attempts to re-create the complete composition, but the parts that survive do not make that possible with any certainty. It is very difficult to propose a region in Anatolia where this was rug made. It has an unusually strong depth and saturation of colour. It cannot be related easily to any other rugs from this period, nor to the well-known types from Bergama, U\u015fak, Ladik, Konya or Karapinar. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 24.

In each of the four corners of the field is a quarter-medallion and when these are combined they create a medallion similar to the one in the centre. The eight-pointed star in the central medallion survives but much of the area around it is lost. However, by close examination of what remains in the corners one can begin to reconstruct most of the missing parts. \u2013The general composition of the primary border, with alternating inward- and outward-pointing flowers flanked by split leaves, features on carpets from many regions, but none have been found that are exactly the same as here. The diagonal ornament with an octagon in the centre is particularly unusual. \u2013 The freshness and brilliance of the colours, the saturated reds and blues contrasting with the brilliant yellow background, combined with the elegance of the drawing of the central medallion and the balance of composition all give this carpet its particular appeal. There are remarkably few Anatolian carpets surviving in this large size compared with smaller rugs. The latter may have survived in greater numbers because some were hung vertically as door rugs for tent entrances. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 26.

However, not all niche rugs served this important function: some hung over doors to mark entrances and others with very narrow fields and wide borders may have been used as tomb covers. A few Anatolian examples of the latter have survived. - When this rug was made near the end of the 15th century, the Turkic tribe that wove it still retained a full repertoire of symbols \u2013 developed over the preceding five centuries \u2013 designed to help the soul of the recipient to pass smoothly into the afterlife. This can best be observed in the highly stylised animal confrontations that are clearly seen in the main border. All repeating carpet ornaments are best understood when reduced to the basic elements of the repeat. What looks at first sight like a palmette, when divided into its basic element appears as part of a creature confronting another one with a curling tail. Two other examples with very similar border patterns are known: one in a private collection in Milan, the other once with Christopher Alexander. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 28.

It creates the impression of a second carpet having been superimposed on the yellow ground. The central design of a hexagonal medallion and four corner motifs is well-known from many other Anatolian rugs. It belonged to the standard repertoire and was used by the weaver in the proportions she was familiar with. Two triangular hooked forms create a gable with an open top at the ends of the field. A connection between the central design unit and the two far distant gables is established by two cone-shaped motifs outlined with blue hooks that resemble the lamp in the \"Bellini\" prayer rug, lot 54. They are flanked by two Talish rosettes. The yellow outer field is empty except for small corner motifs and two Talish rosettes.

It is missing parts of the border all around as well as the lower end of the field, and a horizontal strip of the field has been reattached at the bottom. However, the viewer\u2019s eye will easily fill in the missing sections. Surmounted by a pointed arch, the mihrab field is red and set against an empty, water blue background, thus enhancing the effect. Its wide green frame curves inwards at the lower end to form the octagonal keyhole that is open at the bottom and closed at the top. A large cone-shaped lamp hangs down from the apex of the arch.

The Orient Stars rug has two primary borders and a narrow outer guard border, which is somewhat unusual for Keyhole rugs.

The central axis is accentuated by three rosettes with wide white outlines. In the yellow border, serrated ornaments are framed cartouche-style by a red geometrical vine. \u2013 This fascinating Konya belongs to the group of \"keyhole\" carpets for which John Mills coined the term \"Bellini\" type. Two brothers from Venice, Gentile (1429 \u2013 1507) and Giovanni Bellini (1437 \u2013 1516), each depicted a rug with a keyhole motif in one of their paintings, albeit in its original form with the keyhole open at the bottom and closed towards the field. Naming the whole group of rugs with keyhole motifs after them seems somewhat arbitrary, bearing in mind that the motif is also found in pictures by various other painters. The oldest known example with a keyhole motif appears to be the Mamluk prayer rug from Cairo (ca. 1500) in the Berlin museum. As of the early 16th century, prayer rugs with a keyhole motif at the lower end of the field were also woven in the West Anatolian centre of Ushak. The Berlin museum owns two particularly beautiful examples. The Kirchheim rug displays the keyhole in a different context. It has been doubled, rotated by 180 degrees and incorporated into a larger shield-like form. This large motif is often encountered in 19th century Caucasian rugs. \u2013 The \u201cBellini\u201d rug purchased by the Kirchheims from Sailer marked a turning point for the development of the Orient Stars Collection. The carpet opened the door for the couple to the world of historic Anatolian carpets. The great clarity of its layout, the monumental effect of its composition and its wonderful colours made it Waltraut Kirchheim\u2019s favourite piece.

The most similar star is found on the rug discovered by Nejat Diyarbekirli in the New Mosque in Sivrihisar, which had been transferred there from the Old Mosque in around 1918. A second Crivelli Star rug now in the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts in Istanbul was also discovered in Sivrihisar, as well as the one with a related pattern. Three out of eight being found in one town might not be a coincidence and could suggest that this pattern was widely used there, although one must be cautious about making such statements based on so small a sample. \u2013 The Kirchheim and Sivrihisar rugs both have octagons inside the square that lies at the centre of their Crivelli Stars, each containing a small eight-pointed star and repeated in the hexagons on the main axes; on the Kirchheim these are on a blue ground and on the Sivrihisar the background is aubergine. Both have abstracted animals in the hexagons on the diagonals of the star. On the Kirchheim rug these are deep green birds edged in red on an aubergine ground.<\/p>\n<p>(MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 36.

They are each clearly demarcated by a surrounding green serrated band and framed by a thin white-and-brown stripe. Each compartment is dominated by a yellow \u201cCrivelli\u201d star placed at its centre, with octagons enclosing eight-pointed stars and three horizontal floral motifs distributed around them (there was probably a fourth such tulip-like motif in the lost part of the field at the bottom left). \u2013 The term \"Crivelli\u201c star is used to describe a striking and distinctive motif which is seen in rugs depicted by the Venetian painter Carlo Crivelli (ca. 1435 \u2013 1495), for example in the \u201cAnnunciation\u201d (1486, now in the National Gallery, London). This eight-pointed star is strictly geometrical in drawing. Its mirror-image interior design is composed of compartments in varying shapes and colours that radiate out from around the centre. The stars of this carpet are drawn in bold yellow lines, so their grid-like construction is particularly evident. The \"Crivelli\u201d star could also be described as an interlaced motif with a convoluted outer contour. In this item, the yellow outer border featuring a vine in the style of Ushak rugs is wider than the two inner borders.

What might seem a little unusual on this carpet is that the central medallion has a small yellow medallion rather than a pendant at each end, almost identical examples to which can be seen on numerous small 16th-century rugs from U\u015fak (see example in the Islamic Museum, Berlin). Also typical of several small U\u015fak rugs are the quatrefoil quarter-medallions in each corner. \u2013 The most remarkable element of this Orient Stars carpet is the central medallion, which depicts many of the fascinating abstracted creatures that we seek in the best tribal rugs of Anatolia. What we are looking at here is a Turkmen g\u00fcl design. The pattern is mirrored both vertically and horizontally. The yellow and red \u2018creatures\u2019 each in a rectangular box in the very centre of this carpet were probably derived from abstracted mythological birds. \u2013 Of the four other examples that share this patterning within the medallion, three have pendants and lobed quarter-medallion corner pieces. All of the four have different patterns in both the major and minor borders. The border of the [Orient Stars carpet] resembles U\u015fak cloudband borders but the style of the drawing and the motifs between the cloudbands are more zoomorphic in character. None of these rugs are sufficiently closely related to one another to suggest that they might have been made by the same sub-tribe. However, it is possible that they may all have been made in the same general region in central Anatolia, probably not too far from Ladik. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 38.

However, if this were the case then the rug would have measured approximately 185 by 195 cm, almost square, which is not unknown but certainly unusual. The relatively wide border and narrow field might well suggest that this could be one end of a long runner with several \u2013 perhaps three \u2013 medallions. The size would then have been about 185 by 470 cm. \u2013 As Muse pointed out in 1993, while this fragment has very beautiful colours, the most impressive feature is the border pattern with confronting abstracted creatures. It can be related to the curled leaf border that was used on a relatively small number of Tekke Turkmen main carpets, on some Tekke <em>asmalyks<\/em>, on Yomut Turkmen main carpets from Turkmenistan and on Shield carpets from the Shirvan region of the eastern Caucasus. - Although Muse\u2019s dating of this fragment to the 15th century is perfectly possible and within the limits of the scientific test, I would not be so bold, bearing in mind the style of drawing within the medallion and the U\u015fak-style minor border, and would place it into the late 15th or early 16th century.

It has design elements of U\u015fak carpets, although the weave and colours are not similar to others from that locality. \u2013 The most striking aspect of this rug, apart from its glorious colours, is that the field is peppered with tiny red dots or balls. Random spots on rugs are thought to resemble the markings of leopards, and the rugs themselves to represent woollen versions of animal pelts used for warmth. It is, therefore, hardly surprising to find animal designs on Anatolian rugs from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. The dots in the field of this Orient Stars rug are in red and the background is a turquoise that changes to a glorious green at the upper end. The composition of a cusped medallion in the centre divided into four compartments each containing a single flower combined with quartered medallions in the corners of the field is typical of a number of small Double Niche U\u015fak rugs. The first depiction of one of the latter is in Girolamo da Santacroce\u2019s <em>The Calling of Saint Matthew<\/em>, dated 1519, in the Museo Civico, Bassano, and it is more than likely that similar rugs were made in the last quarter of the 15th century and continued to be woven for at least a hundred years.

In his comprehensive discussion, Michael Franses draws the conclusion that this rug woven in a Persian style and design may be the product of an Armenian workshop in East Anatolia. Its complex design is derived from Tabriz models.

The field is surrounded by a continuous blue line decorated with birds on its inner side. The design of the white main border consists of very beautifully drawn eight-pointed stars, each in two diagonally opposed colours.

The chintamani is composed of three balls and wavy lines or \u2018lips\u2019, the former adopted as a Buddhist symbol in India, the latter probably derived from tiger stripes, and the two combined by the Ottomans in the 15th century. It became exceedingly popular and can be seen in its finest rendering on the earliest silk-piled velvets from Bursa. The chintamani pattern was taken up by the carpet makers of Selendi in the U\u015fak region of western Anatolia, where it was used against ivory backgrounds, often less well drawn. Its popularity did not stop there, and it was used by weavers in various parts of Anatolia, in particular in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. \u2013 The example presented here is from the Karapinar group from central Anatolia. Two other green-field carpets survive which are so similar to the Orient Stars Chintamani carpet that they must have come from the same locality: one in the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts (Inv. no. 874) and the other in a private collection. The remarkable similarity of these three shows that they were part of a traditional art form. We cannot be certain that these three were all made at the same time. All three have a distinct abrash, which occurs when the weaver ran out of a particular colour and had to re-dye additional batches that sometimes turned out a slightly different colour. The Orient Stars example is undoubtedly the most beautiful and has a border pattern rarely found on other Anatolian carpets. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 44.

Seeing that the main border was almost 60 centimetres wide, the carpet it once belonged to must have been very large in size.

Their patterns are quite strong, but the interpretation is relatively crude. They were ignored by most collectors until Spuhler started to acquire them in Turkey and formed a collection that he sold to the Kirchheims. \u2013 The two fragments are the upper right corner and a section from the left side of a rug of unknown size. An almost identical section was with Jim Dixon in California. One early Anatolian rug is known with a composition of octagons in diagonal rows, the ivory ground Alaaddin Mosque carpet with Turkmen g\u00fcls in the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts which was possibly made circa 1200\u20131300. It is quite probable that certain types of rugs were made in exactly the same form for three, four or even five hundred years. If the tribe that made them was fairly isolated and the tradition remained strong, then the patterns were a language that evolved very slowly if at all. Spuhler believed many members of this group to be considerably older than the dates others had previously assigned to them, and judging by the carbon-14 test results for this example (14C 1408\u20131625) he could well be correct.

At the centre of the field, there is a cone-shaped design outlined in white with lateral hooks and two arrowheads that vaguely resembles a beetle. However, the weaver would probably not have understood this western association. All the forms used in antique Anatolian tribal rugs carried their own iconographic meaning, but since that culture, its rituals and visual language have now vanished it is unlikely that we will ever discover their significance. A tree with diagonal branches grows from the two points of the central motif. In the brown main border, large hexagons with serrated outlines and four double hooks are surrounded by a blue vine, and this same vine makes up the diagonal crosses with curled hooks placed between them. The border is remarkable for its precision of drawing and perfect corner solutions. Two elems with shield forms, a characteristic feature of Konya rugs, complete the carpet at each end.

The Konya rugs tend to have bold compositions, often with large areas of plain undecorated areas and therefore appeal more to collectors of Western artists of the 1950s and 1960s such as Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland, Morris Lewis, Robyn Denny and John Hoyland. At the centre of this rug is a large diamond-shaped medallion with a yellow-beige background edged all round with a band of blue hooks that extends into a hooked finial at each end. Its spider-like interior drawing consists of eight arms radiating outwards from a small diamond. Each arm ends in a large blossom that almost touches the inner side of the medallion. Only the four blossoms of the vertical and horizontal arms are decorated with a double hook and point. This could be a two-dimensional rendition of an animal tree design. Triangular ornaments, with a band of hooked motifs only on the diagonal side, are placed in each corner; if joined together they would form a smaller diamond. Almost all the motifs in the field are outlined in brown. The main border is possibly the most spectacular part of the rug and enough survives at the upper end to allow us to appreciate its bold and monumental design. It is not unusual to find such a kufesque band on mosque facades in the region, and this is somewhat reminiscent of the decoration around the entrance to the Es\u0327refog\u0306lu Mosque in Beys\u0327ehir.

The central g\u00fcls are different on each rug, but the secondary g\u00fcls, of which we see just half along the sides, are identical apart from their colour schemes. On plate 61 there is a half-g\u00fcl above and below the central one that is quite unlike any other. The centres of the main g\u00fcls on plate 62 are divided by a vertical line that is coloured differently on each one. On either side of this line is a motif not observed on other rugs. \u2013 Their closest comparisons as far as the form of the g\u00fcls is concerned can be found in the rugs of the Turkic tribes of Varamin, east of Tehran in central Iran, which were the subject of an article by Parvis Tanavoli.

The colours are particularly attractive, strong but still remarkably soft. At first glance, one sees a field pattern composed of large octagons with inverted hooks that are laid out diagonally against a soft red background. However, on closer inspection, what appears to be the background can become the pattern, and vice versa. Then one sees squares with hooks extending above and below, connected by a diagonal grid, similar to designs used on early Anatolian carpets. The red is left completely undecorated apart from in the very centre, where the weaver has inserted a pink double-hooked motif, almost like a swan. One of the striking aspects of this rug is that none of the ornaments are outlined \u2013 it is simply colour on colour. The reciprocal trefoil border is not drawn with any great accuracy, but it still has the desired effect of light on dark counterposed with dark on light. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 63.

Its shape is slightly asymmetrical and inclines to the right. Two green triangles that support it at the bottom are filled with small red-and-white dice in a mosaic style. The interior of the niche is completely empty, creating the impression of a gateway. It may represent the portal of a mosque or, in an iconographic sense, a view into the world beyond. The light blue upper section of the field forms a contrast to the niche not only in colour, but also in terms of its lattice design of fine yellow lines. They surround elongated arrow and hook forms which certainly had a symbolic and perhaps also a religious meaning. The style of the narrow main border, where stars alternate with dots, is reminiscent of similar borders found in early Ottoman court carpets from the workshops of Cairo. This formal resemblance is striking, but it is more than doubtful that the weavers of the Konya region would ever have been aware of these luxurious weavings. One particularly intriguing feature is the wide elem patterned in a band of large, hermetically interlocked trefoils in ochre and a deep purple as well as crescents. The fragment constitutes the upper section of a double niche carpet. It may have had a long format, with two facing niches spaced widely apart at both ends of the field, similar to the Calatchi carpet. The horizontal stripe below the niche is an indication of a different design having been used in the central panel.

Their ground colour regularly changes between red and white, and they each contain two nested analogous forms drawn to a smaller scale. Their sides are decorated with long parmakli devices. Small four-legged animals, rosettes, diamonds quartered by colour change and dice composed of five white dots fill the ground of the field. The yellow border, without any secondary borders in this case, contains large S-figures in red, green and blue which have striking, snake-like curled ends. They could be animal symbols. In the vertical bands these designs alternately face inwards or outwards. \u2013 This unusual rug was purchased by Heinrich Kirchheim from a Konya dealer and discussed by Ralph Kaffel in a HALI article. At the time, Kaffel was not aware of any other examples with the same design. He assumed that the Pyramid Rug was woven in Central Anatolia. In our opinion, the knotting structure, the type of wool, the fairly muted colours and the powerful style of drawing of the designs using accentuated outlines rather suggest a provenance in East Anatolia. The rug may have been produced by a Kurdish tribal group.

Their vertical distance varies, and the third octagon is spaced so far from the upper horizontal border that it leaves an empty space. Large-scale halved stepped polygons protrude into the areas not covered by the primary designs. The central motif of each octagon is a rectangular box with four arms pointing in the cardinal directions from the sides. Their ends bear a small diamond with double hooks. Four diagonal arms emanate from the corners. This motif is probably zoomorphous and totemic in origin. The upper octagon differs from the other two not only in size and its somewhat irregular shape, but also in terms of its serrated and hooked inner blue outline. Moreover, the box it contains is not placed in the centre. The border design consists of diamonds with double hooks, drawn in an angular kilim style and lined up in a row. This is an eminently monumental carpet of wild and archaic appearance.

The sides and the lower end are missing. The huge eight-pointed central medallion has a grass-green interior; it contains a red cruciform motif with four palmette-like forms and diagonal yellow lines ending in a small rectangle with an S-symbol. The medallion is surrounded by four outlines: red on the inside, followed by a zigzag band in white and brown, then yellow, and steel-blue on the outside with long double hooks. The four-and-one composition, which is encountered in many Anatolian rugs, is completed by blue corner pieces that each contain a zoomorphous motif and terminate in a long hook extending in the vertical direction, possibly another abstract animal form. Between the unusually narrow border and the upper elem patterned with hyacinths we see a double row of rosettes. Spuhler believed that this area outside the main design was the main border (OS 1, p. 204), but in our opinion this is not the case. The rosettes will have continued all around the central field, possibly not as a double row along the sides. A rug that compares well in composition and ornamentation, but which has a star border, was sold by us in 2010 and attributed to the Aksaray region north east of Konya at the time.

Its stepped two-tone outline veers inwards in eight places to form eight diagonal crosses in blue and yellow. At the centre of the medallion, a red rectangle with serrated outlines encloses a yellow square edged in green. The blue centre of the diamond is filled with four white hook formations arranged in a cruciform shape. Surrounding the medallion are four triangular forms, completing this classic four-and-one composition. Panels at each end contain ivory-ground octagons filled with eight stars that flank a small yellow octagon. The distinctive white octagons resemble those on Large Pattern Holbein rugs. There are elements within the field design that must have had an appeal for weavers over a very wide area, from the Aegean to the Caspian Sea. For instance, the row of double-crosses at one end of the central square, which can be found on the Vak\u0131flar animal rug (inv. no. E 100), in the borders of Shield carpets from Shirvan in the Caucasus and on Tekke Turkmen <em>asmalyks<\/em> from Turkmenistan. \u2013 It is fascinating to compare this colourful example with Caucasian rugs from circa 1750\u20131850. The vast numbers of the latter that survive suggests that similar compositions and ornaments may well have been made in the Caucasus for centuries. The overall four-and-one design with the four octagons in the corners occurs again, for example, on later Kazak Karachof rugs from the western Caucasus. The border of the Orient Stars rug has an angular meandering stem with flowers alternately pointing inwards and outwards. Very similar patterns can be seen in the ivory-ground borders of many different carpets from the Caucasus. (MF and DM)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 72.

One of the great sensual attractions of plate 74 is the softness of the wool, which is obviously lost without physical contact. In this instance, I must convey a personal interest, having purchased the rug many years ago, drawn by its especially beautiful wool and colours. I had seen illustrations of other examples that were probably from the same tribe, and I also felt that the style of drawing of the tulips and the rosettes could possibly relate it to other rugs attributed to the 17th and 18th centuries. \u2013 Eight comparative examples are usually cited, although I believe only two to be directly related, the Mirzakhanian and the Halevim. These two and the Orient Stars rug all have a pattern of two niches, one inside the other, formed by ascending lines that have protruding hooks on both sides of the uprights but only on the outer edge of the diagonals. The niches terminate in a finial at the upper end. I believe that the Orient Stars example might be the oldest of the three. Its simple but colourful border, the green selvedge and kilim, the well-drawn and colourful rosettes and tulip ornaments all combine to give it its splendour. (MF)<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OS 2, no. 74.

Both end have been reduced, but the lateral borders have completely survived. The width is thus known whereas the length remains a matter of speculation. The red ground is densely covered in blue designs. Arranged in a grid shape, they surround a set of large nested octagons with a central eight-pointed star. The remains of a stripe with yellow motifs survives at each end of the field. In the brown border, hexagonal cartouches resembling open frames are linked by a pole. The colours appear in reverse order on the back: the ground is blue, the drawing is red, and the border has brown motifs on a beige ground (see ill. in Jourdan). \u2013 The age and provenance of this very rare fragment was a mystery for a long time. On account of its design Friedrich Spuhler, the previous owner, believed it to be a 17th century Egyptian weaving with motifs that had survived from the Mamluk period. It is now certain that the rug was made in Daghestan during the 18th\/19th century. Robert Chenciner who travelled the mountainous regions of the North East Caucasus discovered a fragment of the same group in the remote mountain village of Mishlesh and saw a complete large carpet when visiting the local mosque. In addition there is a photo taken in 1912 of a carpet workshop in Tbilisi. It shows a double-faced flatwoven carpet of the same type hanging on the back wall of the room.
