Karabagh Kilim
Add to wishlist
- 203
- South Caucasus, Azerbaijan
- 282 x 226 cm
- Dated 1887
- 6,875
This large, single-panel kilim was probably woven in an Armenian village in the mountains of the Karabagh region. The brown field is almost completely covered by huge hexagons placed in offset rows and filled with nested hooked diamonds or serrated diamonds. The four white-ground hexagons which provide a certain structure in the composition diverge in ornamentation. They each contain a hooked diamond surrounded by ten small hexagons with a central star. The same small hexagons make up the design of the narrow border. At the top right, an empty space was left in the border scheme in order to add a date. The numbers 1887 are embroidered in the brocading technique. The fact that the date is not written in Islamic figures indicates that this brightly coloured kilim is an Armenian weaving. Wertime & Wright have published an almost identical piece. – Very good condition.

- North West Persia, Kurdistan
- 553 x 120 cm

Very firmly woven on a brown wool warp using red wool wefts, this beautiful long rug is from one of the villages in the Garrus region. The henna plant design, here drawn on a golden yellow ground, belonged to the standard repertoire of Kurdish weavers. – The lower finish has been repiled along a length of circa 15 centimetres and is somewhat faded in colour; partial new overcasting along the sides, otherwise in excellent condition.

A rare long rug woven in Azerbaijan. Four large diamonds are aligned on the central axis of a dark blue field whose ground is decorated with angular palmettes. A rich range of colours, a soft texture, wool and cotton wefts. – Pile in good overall condition, slight signs of wear in some places, new overcasting along the sides.

In the red field, white, elegantly curved leaves form a lattice design of oval compartments comprising flowering shrubs which is reminiscent of the Indian style. Shrubs in abundant flower with branches extending in fan shapes adorn the wide blue main border. The motifs are detached and all point towards the field centre. – Slight signs of age and wear, uniformly low pile.

Add to wishlist

Varamin Kilim
Add to wishlist
- 209
- North Persia, Tehran region
- 332 x 145 cm
- Ca. 1900
- 2,000
This red-ground kilim presents a repeat of concentric stepped diamonds arranged into flat diagonal rows by colour change. In the Varamin area, different ethnic groups coexisted peacefully, influencing one another in terms of their rug and flatweave designs. The border ornamentation suggests that this example in the slit tapestry technique may be a Luri weaving. – Very good condition, original finishes all around.

- 212
- South West Persia, Fars region
- 178 x 130 cm
- Late 19th century

Qashqa’i Kilim
Add to wishlist
- 214
- South West Persia, Fars
- 249 x 156 cm
- Mid 19th century
- 4,500
The effect of this Qashqa’i kilim, a weaving of the Darreh Shuri tribe, is achieved by the strong colour contrast between the undecorated blood-red central field and the equally empty, pistachio triangles positioned along the inner sides of the field. The protruding triangles create the multiple indentations in the shape of the field. The red and green spaces are set off by bold, white stepped outlines. A surrounding band of halved stepped diamonds has been inserted between the field and the border section of reciprocal trefoils and serrated bands. – Several rewoven areas, good overall condition.
