Silk Ikat
Add to wishlist
- 2
- Central Asia, Uzbekistan, Emirate of Bokhara
- 168 x 119 cm
- Late 19th century
- 275
Composed of three panels, this rectangular silk ikat is a so-called parda, which served as a cover or wall hanging. The large, central horizontal design band shows three huge purple-red poppy blossoms; two further rows, each with cut designs, adorn the two ends. The interstices are decorated with design bands of sharp purple and yellow points. – Slight signs of wear, several stains.
Gold Brocade Coat
Add to wishlist
- 3
- Anatolia
- 135 x 100 cm
- Late 19th century
- 366
A splendid Turkish man’s coat composed of gold brocade panels, probably made for an Ottoman dignitary. The lively baroque design is French in character; possibly the fabric was imported from France and simply made up in Turkey. – Good condition.
Ersari Ensi
Add to wishlist
- 4
- Central Asia, central Amu Darya valley
- 186 x 121 cm
- Mid 19th century
- 610
This large Ersari ensi, probably used as a door hanging in one of the houses of the winter quarters rather than a tent, stands out on account of its rare design in the wide centre panel. The item was published and comprehensively discussed by Loges. – Obvious signs of age and wear, low pile. Original selvedges, both ends reduced.

Yomut Tent Band Fragment
Add to wishlist
- 5
- Central Asia, West Turkestan
- 254 x 39 cm
- Late 19th century
- 1,220
This fragment is one end of a wide Yomut tent band. The small section of the field depicting a bridal camel and litter as well as a rider mounted on a blue horse is a remarkable feature. – Well preserved.
Salor Chuval
Add to wishlist
- 6
- Central Asia, West Turkestan
- 90 x 144 cm
- 19th century
- 2,074
This large chuval displays a Salor design, but deviates in structure, presenting asymmetrical knots open to the right, no depression in the ground weave and a flexible handle. The palette is darker than usual in a Salor piece, and the ground colour of the field is a brown-red, allowing the conclusion that this chuval was woven in a different region than those of the so-called ‘S’ group. – New overcasting along the sides, reduced ends, the back is missing. Obvious signs of wear, low spots in the pile.

Add to wishlist
- 7
- Central Asia, West Turkestan

- Second half 19th century
- 1,098
This very large Kizil Ayak chuval shows nine primary güls, crosses of lozenges as secondary motifs, a dense border design and a comparatively narrow elem. In the latter, serrated diamonds, each decorated with two hooks, have been arranged into diagonal rows by colour change. The chuval was previously published by Loges. – Several tears, cracks and old repairs. The back is missing.

Chodor Chuval
Add to wishlist
- 8
- Central Asia, West Turkestan
- 79 x 120 cm
- Second half 19th century
- 915
At first glance, this rare chuval showing nine primary güls and erre secondary güls, as well as small shrubs placed in offset rows in the elem, appears to be a Yomut piece; however, the palette and knotting structure prove that is was woven by the Chodor. In 1980 it was published in the book on the Hoffmeister Collection as a loan. – Several restored creases, original upper finish, original selvedge on the left, reselvedged on the right, reduced at the bottom. The back is missing.

- Central Asia, West Turkestan
- 74 x 124 cm
- Second half 19th century
- 1,037
This Chodor chuval displaying ertmen güls and a rare elem design of ashik güls was previously published and comprehensively discussed by Loges. – Damage to the sides and both upper corners, somewhat reduced at the top, the back is missing.

Turkoman Trapping
Add to wishlist
- 11
- Central Asia, central Amu Darya valley
- 40 x 170 cm
- Late 19th century
- 3,050
Attribution to a specific tribe presents something of a mystery in this Turkmen trapping, woven in a long narrow format and previously published by Loges. Three large, diamond-shaped güls fill the dark brown field, and all eight secondary motifs are cut by the border. – Original sides, slightly reduced at the top and bottom, one repiled section.

- 12
- Central Asia, West Turkestan
- 75 x 115 cm
- Mid 19th century
- 854
A Yomut asmalyk showing a tree design of five vertical rows and a syrga border. The style of drawing and light colours indicate the great age of the piece. – Obvious signs of age and wear, low pile, the original finishes have been preserved all around.
