Lot: 163 Karapinar: Friedrich Spuhler established the name
“Yellow Group” for this type of village rugs from the Konya region; little
known in the past, they are woven in strong colours and archaic designs
(often with Memling guls in the field, combined with a variety of border
ornaments). Many examples can be found in ""Orient Stars"", the book on the
Kirchheim Collection. The example offered here, with a balanced yet powerful
design and first-rate colours, dates from the 18th century. The comparative
piece cited below belongs to the same group although it differs in field
design. – Completely preserved, thoroughly corroded brown, an ink stain at
the upper kilim finish.
