Bijar
Add to wishlist
- 238
- North West Persia, Kurdistan
- 228 x 129 cm
- ca. 1900
- 3,224
Changing in various shades of red, the field is completely filled by a tree of life placed on the central axis and lateral flowering shrubs with strikingly large fan-shaped flowers. This design is rare in Bijars. The rustic style of the main border, with floral devices drawn in an angular style, suggests that this rug was made at home for domestic use. – Slight signs of age and wear, good overall condition.
Shahsavan Bag Face
Add to wishlist
- 239
- North West Persia, Azerbaijan
- 58 x 53 cm
- late 19th century
- 387
The face of a khorjin half woven in the sumakh technique. The field design consists of three horizontal panels: a central one enclosing reciprocal hooked diamonds, and an upper and a lower panel presenting so-called eagle motifs. Reinisch has published a complete double bag of the same group. The upper section is much faded in colour and notably differs from the lower third, probably due to the use of early synthetic dyes which were not "lightfast" at the time. – Slight signs of age and wear.

A side panel of a Moghan Shahsavan mafrash, finely woven in the sumakh technique. Three large Memling güls adorn the dark blue field. The border ornamentation is a typical feature of weavings by the tribal groups living in the Moghan-Savalan region. – Very good condition.

- 188 x 139 cm
- late 19th century

Shahsavan Kilim
Add to wishlist
- 242
- North West Persia, Azerbaijan
- 406 x 167 cm
- dated 1324 = 1907
- 3,096
This large Shahsavan kilim has a field with a date in each corner and an open red ground abrashed in several shades. It was probably woven by a tribal group who lived in the Saveh area. Three huge hexagons with an interior drawing of massive double hooks surrounding a small hexagonal centre combine into a pole design on the central axis, with pendants attached at both ends. The first and third hexagons have pile-woven centres. The narrow border of reciprocal trefoils in white and brown is a characteristic feature of these kilims. – Well preserved, original finishes all around.

Borjalou Kazak
Add to wishlist
- 243
- South West Caucasus
- 344 x 175 cm
- second half 19th century
- 4,960
In the field of this large Kazak, three huge crosses merge to form a bar motif. This powerful open shape and the field share the same ground colour in this item, lacking any colour contrast, so the frame-like effect of the outlines around the bar motif is more pronounced than in other examples of the same group. The interior of the bar is embellished with ten Talish rosettes and a number of smaller designs. The free spaces along the sides contain triangles arranged in pairs. The colours and border design indicate that the Kazak belongs to the Borjalou group. – A number of small restored areas, somewhat reduced lower finish, otherwise in very good condition.

This blue-ground apron with a brocaded design may be an Armenian piece. The wide border only surrounds the field on three sides, ending abruptly in the upper section. A horizontal panel at the bottom depicts four-legged animals and birds. A design of funnel shapes adorns the area above the horizontal border. – Obvious signs of age and wear.
