Lot No. 36
Description
Shirvan prayer rug,
East Caucasus, ca.130 x 130 cm, 2nd half of the 19th century, the central
field is completely filled by a lattice of variously designed flowering
shrubs, the red-ground main border with double Z-motifs also recalls carpets
from Dagestan, however this carpet does not exhibit layering of the warp and
is extremely finely knotted, thus it has to be attributed to the more
southerly Shirvan region, its knot quality, age, square size and
preservation make it one of the best examples of its group, original ends,
the sides newly overcast. (MA) Lit.: Eberhart Herrmann, Seltene
Orientteppiche, Vol. V, Plate: 24.
Specialist: Wolfgang Matschek
