Item Details
Description
Kirgiz Carpet, Central Asia, late 19th century
6 ft. 9 in. x 3 ft. 2 in.

Provenance: Seref ?zen, Cocoon Istanbul, September 2000.

Other Notes: Ivory ground Kirgiz carpets are extremely rare. All of the Kirgiz carpets featured in Hali; Tsareva Rugs and Carpets of Central Asia; Moshkova/O?Bannon Carpets of the Peoples of Central Asia and Music for the Eyes are dark, with reds and blues dominating the palette. The design of this rug is rather similar in concept to a well-known rare Yomud rug published as plate 30 in Schurmann?s Central Asian Rugs. Both rugs have a field divided into ivory compartments containing crones (in the Yomud) and hexagons (in this rug). While the palette of our rug is decidedly unusual, the basic design comparts with the description of Kirqiz designs as defined in Hali 66, p. 155 Auction Price Guide for Kvalit?ts Auktion, Stockholm 5 September 1992 #4130- ?No style of carpet decoration relies as much as that of the Kirgiz on the dual reading of reciprocal geometric ornaments. The strict geometry of Kirqiz carpets is supported by the simple palette of two or at most, three colors.?
