THE ROBERT DE CALATCHI COLLECTION OF FINE ORIENTAL RUGS SOTHEBY’S LONDON – OCTOBER 4, 2000
THE Robert de Calatchi collection to be sold at Sotheby’s in London on October 4, 2000 represents an outstanding group of oriental rugs and carpets, the legacy of one man’s connoisseurship and passion. Robert de Calatchi, who lived and worked in Paris, turned his personal interest into a thriving business which enjoyed international renown.
The pieces in Robert de Calatchi’s collection are all of the highest quality. His academic approach is evident from the strong focus of the collection on the East, including Oriental, Caucasian and Persian items, although at the same time the collection is eclectic in its variety and encyclopedic in its range. Of particular importance are the exemplary group of 26 Senneh rugs from Kurdistan, West Persia, and the varied selection of Caucasian rugs. Examples include an attractive Senneh rug, circa 1890 (est: £6,000/8,000), a very striking Kazak Karatchop rug, West Caucasus, second half of the 19th century (est: £8,000/12,000) and from North East Caucasus, a late 17th century Kuba long rug (est: £7,000/10,000).
One of the highlights of the collection is a Heriz silk carpet from North West Persia and dating from circa 1880. It is estimated to fetch £25,000/35,000, as is a late 16th century Esfahan carpet fragment from Central Persia. Among the Chinese carpets is a Ninghsia rug. Dating from the late 17th century it is estimated to fetch £7,000/10,000.

OF FINE ORIENTAL RUGS SOTHEBY’S LONDON
– OCTOBER 4, 2000
"By those who were fortunate
enough to have known Robert de Calatchi, he will
be remembered as a man who was deeply passionate
about carpets. He was born in 1908 in Izmir,
Turkey into a family of Italian diplomats. His
interest in carpets was manifested from the age
of 16 and he was clearly captivated by the
carpets he saw in Turkey. He settled in Paris in
1927, and in 1934 he opened a gallery on
boulevard Hausmann. He went on to organize many
exhibitions, including one held in 1955 in the
Maison pavilion of the Louvre and, in subsequent
years, shows at the Breva Palace in Milan, the
Delft Museum in Holland and the Palazzo Strozzi
in Florence.
His intriguing collection includes no less than
26 late-19th-century Senneh rugs from Kurdistan
in northwest Persia, some of which are woven
using the region's famous multi-coloured silk
warps. There is also a varied selection of good
Caucasian rugs from all of the area's weaving
districts, ranging in date from the 18th century
to the early 20th century. A fine 19th-century
silk carpet with a highly decorative, bold design
heads the group of Persian town rugs woven in
both wool and silk. A beautiful Esfahan carpet
fragment woven on silk warps can be dated to the
16th century and provides a superb example of
Classical Safavid weaving. Other weaving areas
are also represented, and overall the collection
represents an eclectic array of fine rugs.

Double Humped
The Bactrian camel is the camel native to Central Asia, China, and Afghanistan. It is distinctive because of it's double hump. This is separate and distinct from the single humped camels which are Arab camels and are usually referred to as a group as Dromedary.
Loads can range from 200 pounds up to 650 pounds. Of course length of trip determines weight. I have seen huge ore bags that would allow camels to carry easily 650 pounds but obviously not for days on end across desert.
Bactrian camels molt in the spring 11 to 17 pounds of wool. Bactrian Camels

The wool is curly unlike all the other camel "wool" from other breeds.

Founder of the Chagatai Horde.
After the death of Cinggis Qan and the Kuriltai of 1228 Chagatai received Turkestan as his yurt. The language of his Ulus evolved into a language we know as Chagatai or Turki.
The Chaghatay language is alive and well across Central Asia.4 It has never died, and is often referred to as "Turkistani", or simply by its earlier name, Turki. Paksoy, Alpamysh. Chapter 3
Chaghatay is primarily based on Uygur, which later became Karakhanid on the way to Chaghatay. Paksoy, Alpamysh. Chapter 3 note 4.
Chahal Shotur is a village in the Chahar Mahal near Shahr Kurd. The village produces the best of the Bahktiarri production.
Chahar Aymaq refers to the people in Northwest Afghanistan who speak Chahar Aymaq or one of it's dialects. Dialects include Timuri, Taimani, Zohri, Jamshidi, Firozkohi, Maliki, Mizmast, Chingizi, Qedai Nao Hazara, Zainal, Khazara.
Chahar Aymaq is a language in the Persian language family with heavy borrowing from Mongol and Turkic. Some suggest that it is a subset or dialect of Dari but I do not think so. (Then again I am no linguist) About 1600 Shah Abbas of Persia took several aymaqs of his border area and made them into one tribal confederation. Three of the aymaqs were Timurid Turko-Mongolic herders groups, the Timuri, The Taimani, and the Firozkohi. The fourth was a Persian tribe called the Jamshidi from the Kerman area of Persia. Because there were four main tribes in the confederation they were called the Chahar (four in Persian) Aymaq (tribes). The tribal confederation appeared to break up in the 19th century but the language of that resulted from that 16th century political move exists to this day.
The Ethnologue data base list the following dialects for Chahar Aymaq TAIMURI (TEIMURI, TIMURI, TAIMOURI), TAIMANI, ZOHRI (ZURI), JAMSHIDI (JAMSHEDI, DJAMCHIDI, YEMCHIDI, DZHEMSHID), FIROZKOHI, MALIKI, MIZMAST, CHINGHIZI, QEDAI NAO HAZARA AIMAQ, ZAINAL, KHAZARA. I feel they are in error on Qedai Nao Hazara Aimaq and possibly Khazara but on the whole it is a very good source. On the basis of my research I believe that Qedai Nao Hazara Aimaq is more properly considered a dialect of Hazaragi.
Chajli is a multiple latch hooked medallion Shirvan rug that is one of the most sought after Caucasian Rugs and commands top dollar at auction. Three medallion is the most popular and they are usually red field and less commonly are blue ground or even white.

"Sovereign Carpets: Unknown
Masterpieces from European Collections
by Edoardo Concaro (Editor), Alberto Levi
(Editor)
About this title: The book illustrates the
extraordinary and very ancient art of rugs with a
relevant selection of Oriental rugs--from the
oldest to the ones produced in the late 19th
century--belonging to European private
collections, besides a set of rugs coming from
the Russian ethnographic museum of St.
Petersburg. The fruit of long research within the
rich private artistic patrimony, the catalogue
assembles two hundred Oriental rugs from the 15th
to the 19th century, coming from Persia,
Anatolia, the Caucasus, central Asia, Tibet,
Turkestan and China. The pieces featured in the
volume cover vast chronological and geographical
sections of the fascinating world of carpets; the
aim of the book is both eclectic and simple: to
present very beautiful rugs belonging to private
collectors and to give--through brief
introductory chapters--an overview of the main
carpet-weaving areas of the world. A series of
maps and a glossary of technical terms are
designed to help the non professional
reader." www.alibris.com

More important partners over the years include Ed Zimmerman and Dean Gooderham Acheson. I mean no disrepect to Ed by mentioning him in the same sentance with Acheson. The best we can say about Dean Acheson was that he was a poor judge of character. Less charitable people link Acheson to the Communists that he shelteered at State Department. Zimmerman on the other hand is a sterling character and a great American.
