Description
Uzbek Rug, Central Asia, late 19th century
8 ft. x 3 ft. 2 in.
Provenance: Seref ?zen, Cocoon Istanbul, September 2000.
Other Notes: Uzbek rugs are often confused with Ersari products. Four rugs, quite similar to ours have been been published, all attributed to Ersari: Nagel 27 May 2003 #52: Music for the Eyes pl. 139 (early 19th C.); Hali 94 p. 39, Ottomania, Istanbul (early 19th C.); Tsareva Rugs and Carpets of Central Asia cover & pl. 89 (mid 19th C.). Another similar rug was attributed to Karakalpak by Nagel 5 November 2002.
A comparable rug, attributed to Kirghiz and also having the ?curled leaf? border of our piece (dated 1880) was published in pl. 40 in The World of Rugs, a catalog of the 1973 exhibition at the Hugh M. Moss Gallery in London. The caption, by Michael Franses, states: ?The Kirgiz and Uzbek people, who lived in the area between East and West Turkestan, but were of different origin from the Turkomans, also wove rugs using elements of both Ersari and East Turkestan designs.?
The attribution of this rug to Uzbek is based primarily on representations made by Seref OZEN, but the rug may well be Kirgiz, as it replicates many of the design elements in the Hugh Moss rug.
A related carpet published in Timbuktu to Tibert pl. 26 attributed as ?possibly Kazakhstan - 19th century.?
