Lot Notes
Somewhat later in date than other known published examples and substantially
larger in size than any other of the same design, this carpet is an
adaptation of the eighteenth century Caucasian design found on a small
number of long format rugs, (Serare Yetkin, Early Caucasian Carpets in
Turkey, London, 1978, vol.1, p.40; Heinrich E. Kirchheim, Orient Stars,
Stuttgart and London, 1993, no.108, p.43; The James D. Burns Collection,
sold in these Rooms, 18 October 2001, lot 250; William Doyle's, New York,
May 1992, lot 618, dated 1837, reported in Hali 64, August 1992, auction
price guide p.166 ). The drawing of the earlier examples is more curvilinear
and shows clearly how the design must originally have been taken from a
Persian original.
