Twelve carpets and flatweaves from the ORIENT STARS Collection.
The following twelve lots originate from the
„Orient Stars“ Collection. They were offered before at the „Orient Stars“
special auction held by RIPPON BOSWELL on 2nd October 1999. Comprehensively
catalogued by us at the time, all objects are also illustrated and discussed
in the „Orient Stars“ publication. In view of the museum character of these
collectors items, we have dispensed with descriptions of their condition.
Collector E. Heinrich Kirchheim, now deceased, placed more emphasis on the
artistic expression, beauty, rarity, cultural and historic importance of the
objects in his collection than their state of preservation, a perspective
many important collectors develop during the course of their collecting
lives. All carpets and kilims were expertly cleaned and conserved prior to
publication in „Orient Stars“ in 1993. Most of the fragments or objects
surviving in fragmented form were backed with canvas and some of them
framed. Below, references to the publication, „KIRCHHEIM, E. HEINRICH,
Orient Stars. Eine Teppichsammlung. Stuttgart-London 1993“ will be
abbreviated to „OS“; our previous catalogue of the „Orient Stars“ auction is
referenced „RB“.
“One might dub this rug, and its handful of close relatives, ‘E type’ Star
Kazaks. ... Note how the internal design of the central red star also
parallels the basis Star Kazak design concept, as well as the surrounding
sickle leaf forms, and the ‘S’ forms in the border.” (HK)
This village rug from the Gendje region is obviously a successor to the B
type Star Kazaks, sharing their elongated format. Its narrow border with
stylised dragon motifs relates it to no. OS-2. The complex Star Kazak
“explosion” design is seen here in a greatly simplified version.
