Auktion 68
18. November 2006
Lot Nr.: 34

Herkunftsland: Nordostpersien, Khorassan, frühes 19. Jhdt.
Abmessungen: ca. 128 x 100 cm
Schätzpreis in EUR: 7.800 €
Ein offenbar von den Göklan-Turkmenen geknüpftes Stück in einem seltenen, kleinen Format, das wie ein Hauptteppich en miniature wirkt. Große zeichnerische Präzision und dunkel glühende Farben zeichnen alle frühen Teppiche dieses Stammes aus. – Rechter Rand unvollständig, links Reste der Originalschirazi erhalten, Enden leicht reduziert, einige restaurierte Stellen, Alters- und Gebrauchsspuren.

Rough Translation: A piece in a rare, obviously woven by the Göklan Turkmenen, small format, which like a main carpet in miniature works. Large graphic precision and darkly glowing colors distinguish all early carpets of this tribe. - Right edge incompletely, on the left of remainders of the original selvage received, ends reduced, some restored places, age and areas of wear.

I am not looking to buy or sell. I am reviewing this rug to place it in context and to use it as a teaching aid.

Thanks and best wishes,
