Yomut Ensi
Add to wishlist
- 149
- Central Asia, West Turkestan
- 161 x 145 cm
- Mid 19th century
- 3,660
A brown-ground door rug featuring the hatchlu cross design, with pekvesh flowers in the four segments of the field. The drawing of the elem is rare – highly stylised tree forms, their centres drawn as serrated diamonds. In this respect, our ensi resembles an item in the Straka Collection of the Textile Museum, Washington. – Original sides and upper finish, the lower finish has been repiled. Good overall condition.

Salor Chuval
Add to wishlist
- 152
- Central Asia, West Turkestan
- 77 x 121 cm
- 18th century
- 6,100
A large Salor bag face showing 16 rounded chuval güls and octagonal secondary designs in a spacious arrangement which, in current opinion, is considered an indication of an early date. Unlike most comparative examples, the elem is decorated with amulets rather than tree forms. – Heavily worn, low pile. Mounted and framed.

Qashqa’i Rahimlu
Add to wishlist
- 157
- South West Persia, Fars
- 308 x 161 cm
- Late 19th century
- 6,710
Judging by its flexible structure, this large Qashqa’i is probably a weaving of the Rahimlu tribe. This provenance is also suggested by the angular Herati design in the midnight blue field. However, the botehs seen in the yellow central medallion and the white-ground spandrels as well as the vine design of the main border have been drawn in the style of Kashkuli rugs. – Original finishes all around, good condition.
Qashqa’i Shekarlu
Add to wishlist
- 159
- South West Persia, Fars
- 259 x 172 cm
- Mid 19th century
- 10,004
This Qashqa’i presenting the characteristic garden design of the Shekarlu tribe on a rust-red field stands out on account of its exceptional quality: it is more finely woven than usual in that provenance, resulting in a more detailed and precise drawing. Velvety pile wool, a rich variety of brilliant colours. Possibly commissioned by a khan. – New overcasting along the sides, several minor repairs. Good overall condition.
East Anatolian Long Rug
Add to wishlist
- 161
- East Anatolia
- 240 x 87 cm
- Second half 19th century
- 3,660
A red-ground Konya long rug displaying a highly unusual design of graphic appearance – large rosettes composed of colour segments, arranged in offset rows. Tiny solid crosses surround the motifs like a wreath. The border consists of a thin, dark blue line decorated with outer scrolled hooks. We are unaware of any comparative pieces. – Good condition.

- 118 x 84 cm
- Early 20th century
- 1,342
Purple, pink, orange und light gray colour sections have been arranged into three bands and interlocked by means of deeply serrated outlines ending in sharp points. Woven in expressive colours, the composition appears dynamic, almost aggressive. Mounted, padded and framed.

Silk Ikat

- Central Asia, Uzbekistan
- 68 x 27 cm
- Second half 19th century
- 610
A lattice of bold cherry-red lines, running straight and intersecting diagonally, largely covers the white ground, leaving only narrow rhomboid and cone-shaped compartments. Viewed as a whole, it is possible to make out large arrow shapes in the picture. The straight lines and consistency of the abstract design are reminiscent of crystalline structures. Mounted and framed.
Silk Ikat
Add to wishlist
- 170
- Central Asia, Uzbekistan
- 162 x 90 cm
- Ca. 1900
- 3,782
Four interlocked light gray, pink and violet-red colour sections have been separated by wide, golden yellow bands. Despite the dynamic points extending horizontally, the composition appears rather sedate and static due to its clear structure. Mounted and framed.
The Herrmann Silk Ikat
Add to wishlist
- 174
- Central Asia, Uzbekistan
- 155 x 160 cm
- Mid 19th century
- 15,860
This silk ikat in the format of a square cover has been composed of a number of fragments from the beginning. The abstract field design of circles woven in diverse colours appears decidedly modern to Western eyes, exercising a powerfully suggestive visual effect. Herrmann, who published the piece, dated it to the mid 19th century. Only a few complete covers of this kind have survived. The Munich Wolff-Diepenbrock Collection contains a fragment of identical field design. – Good condition.
