And a fragment of a Kurdish runner, north west Persia or south Caucasus late 19th century, 7ft.2in. x 3ft.1in. 2.18m. x 0.94m. Very slight even wear, cut across lower end. The Islamic date on this piece apparently reads 1358[AH]; this would give what would seem to be a much later Western dating than the fragment suggests, i.e. 1939AD. It may be that the weaver intended the date to read 1308[AH], which, being the equivalent of 1890, seems much more reasonable. (2)Estimate: £100.00 - £200.00

Lot: 1612Feraghan runner, north west Persia early 20th century, 10ft.4in. x 2ft.9in. 3.15m. x 0.84m. Some minor spots of repiling.Estimate: £300.00 - £400.00

Lot: 1622Impressive Ushak 'Turkey' carpet, west Anatolia about 1900, 17ft.9in. x 13ft.6in. 5.41m. x 4.12m. Slight uneven wear overall, small cut lower left edge, two three very small holes upper right quadrant, minor losses both ends, two minimal tears upper right edge.Estimate: £500.00 - £700.00

Lot: 1628An impressive Esfahan carpet, west Persia about 1920-30, 14ft.10in. x 10ft.11in. 4.52m. x 3.33m. Some wear, mainly in centre. The lower fifth of the carpet has been cut from the main body. It is present and sold with the main section; however, this lower fragment has itself been cut in two and there is a narrow vertical strip approximately 5 inches (13cm.) wide missing between the two; there is also a minimal loss of no more than 1 or 2 cm. between the fragments and the main body of the carpet and the larger of the two lower fragments has small losses to both left corners. As is often the case with comparatively early Esfahan 'Revivalist' weaving, this carpet bears little resemblance to the later style of medallion rug associated primarily with the work of Serafian and other well known Esfahani master weavers. Although the 'drawing' is not so complex, its greater simplicity and boldness, combined with a superbly rich and varied palette, adds greatly to the overall power and grace of the design. (3)Estimate: £500.00 - £800.00

Lot: 1629A large and impressive Modernist tapestry, monogram 'G' (?) lower left corner, probably English 1960-70, 14ft.7in. x 6ft.9in. 4.45m. x 2.05m.Estimate: £200.00 - £400.00

Lot: 1635Chinese carpet, probably Beijing about 1950, 13ft.5in. x 10ft.5in. 4.09m. x 3.17m. Note the ton-sur-ton floral sprays on the ground in a slightly paler shade of green, rendered with such extraordinary subtlety that they are almost sensed rather than seen.Estimate: £500.00 - £600.00

Lot: 1636Ushak 'fancy Turkey' carpet, west Anatolia about 1920, 13ft.4in. x 10ft.11in. 4.0m. x 3.33m. Uneven wear in places, small area of damage centre left.Estimate: £600.00 - £700.00

Lot: 1638Portuguese needlework carpet, early to mid 20th century, 13ft.2in.x 9ft.8in. 4.01m. x 2.94m. Small stain at edge of one long border.Estimate: £200.00 - £300.00

Lot: 1639An early Heriz carpet, north west Persia about 1900, 13ft.2in. x 9ft.3in. 4.01m. x 2.82m. Uneven wear in places, foundations brittle in places, small distressed area lower right corner of field with damage and loss, upper end distressed with small hole to top of field, centre and loss of most of main and outer borders. Despite its condition, this is an old Heriz with superb colour; it is extremely dirty and will, no doubt, respond well to cleaning.Estimate: £150.00 - £250.00

Lot: 1640Attractive Ziegler-Mahal carpet, Arak (Sultanabad), north west Persia about 1890-1910, 12ft.11in. x 10ft. 3.94m. x 3.05m. Overall uneven wear, small section rewoven lower end centre. A carpet with beautiful colour. The asymmetric knotting on a cotton foundation is typical of carpets woven in Mahallat (Mahal), one of the principle weaving towns of Sultanabad province and one of the towns where Ziegler had looms; however, neither the rich palette nor the bold design (and note the unusual ton-sur-ton arabesque in the field) are characteristic of carpets usually attributed to late 19th century Mahal and are much more typical of early Ziegler carpets from the town of Sultanabad itself.Estimate: £600.00 - £800.00

Lot: 1641Heriz carpet, north west Persia early 20th century, 12ft.11in. x 8ft.11in. 3.94m. x 2.72m. Small areas of minor wear.

The description 'Deco' in relation to many 1930s Tianjin carpets refers not so much to the design, although this will often reflect European aesthetic concerns of the period, but to a very distinctive palette of bright and vivid colours.Estimate: £250.00 - £350.00

Mongolian rug, probably 19th century, 4ft.5in. x 9ft.10in. 1.35m. x 3m. Overall uneven wear, some corrosion to dark brown, small holes mainly in centre, several reweaves, mainly left side. Given that this rug, woven on the landscape axis, is asymmetrically knotted, a Mongolian origin seems probable. The mid brown wool used for the field may be yak hair; it is extremely soft and fine but seems to lack the fuzziness of camel hair.Estimate: £50.00 - £100.00

Lot: 1885Chinese 'Deco' rug, Tianjin about 1930, 6ft.8in. x 4ft.1in. 2.03m. x 1.25m.Estimate: £50.00 - £80.00

The loose, floppy handle of this archaic looking rug suggests an east Anatolian origin, although in colour and certain design elements, it has similarities to certain tribal rugs of West Turkestan.Estimate: £250.00 - £350.00

Lot: 1896Fragment of a Konya kelim, central Anatolia early 19th century, 3ft.1in. x 2ft.11in. 0.94m. x 0.89m. Holes, edges ragged, heavy corrosion to dark brown in top kelim band. Estimate: £100.00 - £150.00

The 'silk' finish has now worn away, as is usually the case with older 'art silk' rugs; the palette of this example, with the canary yellow ground mihrab offset with blue, red and green is particularly pleasing. Like most Turkish prayer rugs, the pile is in the opposite direction to the design.Estimate: £200.00 - £300.00

Lot: 1898Rabat rug, Morocco early 20th century, 4ft.3in. x 3ft.1in. 1.30m. x 0.94m. Slight even wear overall.Estimate: £200.00 - £250.00

Woven in two roughly equal vertical sections, brilliant white areas worked in cotton. Kelims of this design were made in south Anatolia in a district the administrative capital of which, under the Ottomans, was the city of Aleppo in north west Syria; hence their generic name. (2)Estimate: £300.00 - £400.00

Lot: 1909Ushak prayer rug, west Anatolia about 1900, 3ft.10in. x 2ft.10in. 1.17m. x 0.86m. Unlike most other Turkish prayer rugs, Ushak examples consistently have the pile in the same direction as the design.Estimate: £150.00 - £250.00

Lot: 1910Attractive west Anatolia prayer rug, probably Ushak region late 19th-early 20th century, 4ft.6in. x 2ft.9in. 1.37m. x 0.94m. See footnote to previous lot.Estimate: £200.00 - £300.00

A number of Orphanages were set up, mainly in western Turkey, by Christian missionaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to look after and teach mainly abandoned children, many of whom had been orphaned by various wars. Weaving was one of the principal skills taught in these orphanages and a number of rugs of surprisingly high quality have survived; this is an example.Estimate: £100.00 - £200.00

Lot: 1930Ersari Turkmen pardah, Afghanistan, late 19th century, 6ft. 11in. x 5ft. 4in. 2.11m. x 1.63m. Overall uneven wear.Estimate: £80.00 - £100.00

Uzbek piled malband, Uzbekistan late 19th century, 10ft 1in. x 9in. 3.07m. x 0.23m. Slight even wear overall, small area of damage left edge centre. It is possible that this originally formed the left border of an Uzbek main carpet.Estimate: £80.00 - £120.00

The latter with tiny spots of moth damage; the former with remains of undyed plain weave back. The small chuval acquired from Liberty's antique rug department early in the 20th century; original trade label verso. (2)Estimate: £100.00 - £150.00

Lot: 1940A good Tekke twelve gul torba, Turkmenistan second half 19th century, approx.1ft.4in. x 4ft.6in. 0.39m. x 1.37m. Some small spots of moth damage. Recently 'unearthed' in an old, dirty and cobweb strewn outhouse, this fine torba was probably sewn up and stuffed as a cushion in the late 19th or early 20th century, when Tekke rugs and bags were extremely popular as furnishing fabrics and, to judge from surviving examples, some exceptional old Tekke weavings were cut up and used in this way. Fortunately this bag has survived intact, with no loss of pile area and even retaining its original plaited blue and red

wool edging and hanging cord. Apart from the comparatively minor moth damage mentioned above, it is in excellent condition although, needless to say, it is extremely dirty.Estimate: £300.00 - £500.00

Lot: 1941Good Ersari Turkmen torba, Turkmenistan, second half 19th century, 1ft.9in. x 4ft.3in. 0.52m. x 1.30m. Slight uneven wear overall.Estimate: £800.00 - £1,000.00

Lot: 1985Kazak 'triple medallion' rug, south west Caucasus late 19th century, 7ft.11in. x 6ft.4in. 2.41m. x 1.93m. Overall uneven wear, heavy in top medallion and lower end of field, some small split kinks to lower end.Estimate: £300.00 - £400.00

Lot: 1986Genje long rug, south east Caucasus late 19th century, 9ft.9in. x 3ft.10in. 2.97m. x 1.17m. Uneven wear, dark brown unevenly corroded.Estimate: £400.00 - £500.00

Lot: 1987Daghestan rug, north east Caucasus late 19th century, 5ft.5in. x 3ft.3in. 1.65m. x 1m. Overall uneven wear, heavy in lower half; the extensive use of fuchsine in this rug indicates a date of around 1880.Estimate: £50.00 - £100.00

Lot: 1990Karabakh or Moghan long rug, south west Caucasus about 1920, 10ft x 4ft.2in. 3.05m. x 1.27m. Estimate: £50.00 - £100.00

Lot: 1991Unusual and impressive Kazak met-hane long rug, south west Caucasus late 19th century, 9ft. x 4ft.1in. 2.75m. x 1.25m. Slight even wear overall, very slight corrosion to dark brown. Rugs of this overall design with long narrow field largely free of decoration are called met-hane and are associated primarily with Talish; however, the structure of this example suggests a more westerly origin in the Kazak area It should be noted that the dating of such rugs has become increasingly fraught over the last two decades as the number of examples woven both in the Caucasus and Iran using unravelled wool from old rugs and intended to deceive the unwary buyer has reached epidemic proportions, not to mention old rugs so heavily re-piled as to be virtually new. However, we can see no reason to doubt the authenticity of this handsome example.Estimate: £1,500.00 - £1,800.00

Lot: 1992Karachov Kazak rug, south west Persia late 19th century, 7ft. x 4ft. 2.13m. x 1.22m. Slight even wear overall, both ends rewoven.Estimate: £400.00 - £500.00

Lot: 1994Attractive and unusual Sewan Kazak double ended prayer rug, south west Caucasus third quarter 19th century, 5ft.3in. x 2ft.10in. 1.60m.x 0.86m. Overall uneven wear, dark brown unevenly corroded, hole base of lower right 'spandrel', both ends ragged with losses. A rug with an unusual design, some elements of which suggest a Sewan origin although a Fachralo provenance seems just as likely or even to the area of Nagorny Karabakh where the so-called Kasim Usag rugs were made. Whatever its provenance, both its design and its all-vegetable palette indicate that it well pre-dates the commercialisation of Caucasian rugs in the Kustar workshop project from the late 1880s onwards.Estimate: £250.00 - £350.00

Lot: 1995Akstafa prayer rug, south east Caucasus about 1900, 5ft.10in. x 3ft.1in. 1.78m. x 0.94m. Overall even wear.Estimate: £1,000.00 - £1,200.00

Lot: 1998Karadagh runner, south west Caucasus about 1900, 13ft.2in. x 3ft.5in. 4.01m. x 1.04m. Some confusion has been caused by the Karadagh nomenclature. The place itself is just north of the Iranian border and is known primarily for rugs that, like this example, bear a distinctive irregular octagon with 'turreted' outline, here with a pale blue ground and alternating with more regular red octagons with hooked extensions; however, the irregular octagon is a motif also particularly associated with rugs from Karaja, a village in the Heriz area of north west Persia. There seems to be an unexplained coincidence between the names and it may be that the very handsome runner offered here is in fact from the Kazak region.Estimate: £900.00 - £1,200.00

Lot: 1999Kazak rug, south west Caucasus about 1900-10, 7ft.5in. x 5ft.3in. 2.26m. x 1.60m. Slight wear in places.Estimate: £600.00 - £800.00

Lot: 2000Karachov Kazak rug, south west Caucasus about 1890-1910, 6ft.3in. x 4ft.2in. 1.91m. x 1.27m. The vivid turquoise used as the ground to the main border is particularly striking.Estimate: £400.00 - £600.00

Lot: 2001Impressive Kazak 'triple medallion' rug, south west Caucasus early 20th century, 8ft.11in. x 4ft.9in. 2.72m. x 1.45m. Overall uneven wear, repairs and repiling in places.Estimate: £1,000.00 - £1,500.00

Lot: 2002Attractive Karabakh long rug, south west Caucasus late 19th century, 8ft.8in. x 3ft.10in. 2.64m. x 1.17m. Two small areas of wear; one top centre, the other lower left side; losses to sides and ends. A rug with brilliant and vivid colour.Estimate: £700.00 - £900.00

Lot: 2003Kazak rug, south west Caucasus about 1890-1910, 5ft.2in.x 3ft.10in. 1.58m. x 1.17m. Slight even wear overall, repiling in several small areas.Estimate: £400.00 - £600.00

23 of 27


Lot: 2004Kuba rug, north east Caucasus late 19th century, 5ft. x 3ft.4in. 1.52m. x 1.02m. Very slight even wear overall. The presence of the purple dye fuchsine in the top border of this rug indicates a date in the last quarter of the 19th century. Other early aniline dyes present in this rug include ponceau and orange 2.Estimate: £300.00 - £400.00

Lot: 2005Kongkend rug, Kuba region, north east Caucasus late 19th century, 5ft.11in. x 4ft.1in. 1.80m. x 1.50m. Overall even wear, chemically 'washed'. With original Harvey Nichols trade label verso.Estimate: £200.00 - £300.00

Slight even wear overall, missing guards top end, outer guard cut on long sides and missing at base, section of central medallion missing, otherwise probably complete. A rug with a brilliant palette and superb wool. (2)Estimate: £50.00 - £100.00

Lot: 2007Border fragment from Kazak rug, south west Caucasus second half 19th century, 2ft.7in. x 1ft.2in. 0.79m. x 0.36m. Slight uneven wear, corrosion to mod brown. A small but brilliantly coloured border fragment obviously from a Kazak of good age and high quality.Estimate: £100.00 - £150.00

Lot: 2008Shirvan rug, south east Caucasus late 19th-early 20th century. 4ft.8in. x 4ft. 1.42m. x 1.22m. Uneven wear overall, small loss top left corner. A number of these rugs, all of virtually identical design and size, are known. The extensive use of fuchsine in this example suggests a date in the late 19th century.Estimate: £150.00 - £250.00

Lot: 2009Kazak rug, south west Caucasus about 1890-1910, 6ft.4in. x 4ft.6in. 1.93m. x 1.37m. Slight uneven wear overall, small patch lower right edge, small reweaves, slight damage and losses lower right edge and corner, minor loss lower left corner edge.Estimate: £400.00 - £600.00

Lot: 2010Karabakh long rug, south west Caucasus about 1900-10, 8ft.7in. x 4ft. 2.62m. x 1.22m. Colour run in several places.Estimate: £500.00 - £600.00

Lot: 2011Daghestan rug, north east Caucasus early 20th century, 7ft.2in. x 4ft. 2.18m. x 1.22m. The presence of some early aniline dyes such as orange 2 suggests that this rug is earlier than it looks.Estimate: £1,900.00 - £2,200.00

Lot: 2012An attractive Shirvan rug, south east Caucasus dated 1330[AH] (1911-12AD) with maker's inscription, 6ft.11in. x 4ft.1in. 2.11m. x 1.25m. Overall even wear. A rug with beautiful colour and a surprisingly late date. Estimate: £700.00 - £800.00

Lot: 2046Attractive Fars(?) rug, south west Persia about 1900, 6ft.11in. x 5ft. 2.11m. x 1.52m. Overall even wear, losses to lower end. The exact origin of this charming rug is not immediately apparent. With fine symmetric knotting it has a subtle palette of some thirteen distinct colours - pink, red, brown-red, orange, yellow, dark brown, mid brown, grey-brown (main border ground), dark blue (main field ground, abrashed), light blue, dark green, light green, ivory - all of which, including the pink and orange, appear to be natural. It has a distinctive version of the gul farangi bouquet in the field and an equally distinctive rendering of the shudur (almond blossom) pattern in the principal guards; even the main border contains what appears to be a 'naturalistic' rendering of the so-called bazoobandi (armlet) pattern found in different forms on many Fars tribal and village rugs. All in all, its use of several motifs and patterns, albeit idiosyncratic versions, associated with Fars weavings, suggest that it may be the work of an Arab or Khamseh group in that vast province with its wide ethnic diversity and hundreds of villages and towns of various sizes. A Kurdish origin from further to the northwest of Persia is also possible but seems to us less likely.Estimate: £450.00 - £550.00

Lot: 2047Jaf Kurd khorjin face, north west Persia early 20th century, 2ft.3in. x 2ft.4in. 0.69m. x 0.71m.Estimate: £100.00 - £150.00

The smaller rug is possibly the earlier of the two and has rich saturated colour and very fine wool. (2)Estimate: £100.00 - £150.00

Lot: 2052Kurdish rug, Quchan region, Khorasan, north east Persia early 20th century, 5ft.6in. x 3ft.8in. 1.68m. x 1.12m.

Lot: 2055Rare and attrctive Shahsavan rug, north west Persia or southern Caucasus, second half 19th century, 6ft.4in. x 4ft.1in. 1.93m. x 1.25m. Overall uneven wear, small hole upper left, slight damage to sides in small areas upper right and lower left, small 'bite' upper end left. The attribution of pile rugs to the Shahsavan remains speculative. However, this charming rug, clearly the work of a semi-nomadic tribal group, has both the intense colour and some of the slightly idiosyncratic designs features associated with the Shahsavan. Among the latter, the sinuous minor border design is one unusual element while the highly stylised animal processions in the top and bottom main borders are elements which are characteristic of Shahsavan weaving. Admittedly, it is difficult to pin down the elements which point to a Shahsavan origin - a look at one of the few short studies of Shahsavan pile weavings by Parviz Tanavoli in Hali 45 pp.30-37 will demonstrate this - but the present rug seems to fit most of the design, colour and structural characteristics satisfactorily.Estimate: £200.00 - £400.00

Lot: 2056Veramin khorjin face, north west Persia about 1900, 1ft.10in. x 2ft.10in. 0.55m. x 0.86m. Slight wear in places. And a Kurdish half khorjin, north west Persia early 20th century, 1ft.3in. x 1ft4in. 0.38m. x 0.41m. With an unusual and attractive striped
