1934. Tekke Turkmen ak chuval face, Turkmenistan, early 20th century, 2ft. 8in. x 4ft. 4in. 0.81m. x 1.32m. Note the extremely fine weave and the intricate motifs in the narrow piled bands. £100-200
Lot 1932
1932. An extremely handsome Tekke Turkmen main carpet, Turkmenistan second half 19th century 9ft.4in. x 7ft.2in. 2.85m. x 2.18m. A carpet with a rich deep somnolent palette with striped pile ends. An unusual feature is the presence of an archaic version of the kurbagh minor gul as opposed to the chemche minor guls more usually found on Tekke main carpets. Note the superb wool, almost like silk velvet to the touch. Complete with hanging cords at one end. £2,200-2,800
1933. An exceptional Yomut Turkmen asmalyk, Turkmenistan about mid 19th century, 2ft.6in. x 4ft.1in. 0.76m. x 1.25m. Two small reweaves in field. The field of this beautiful asmalyk has the typical ashik pattern with erre-guls in the centre in two different forms arranged in alternate diagonal rows. The unusual main border pattern on a beautiful green ground is found on a number of published examples with related field patterns and palettes, some of which are asymmetrically knotted; see, for instance, Azadi et al, Wie Blumen in der Wuste, nos. 7 (Yomut) and 86 (‘Pseudo- Chodor’); Loges, Turkoman Tribal Rugs, nos. 43-44 (both Yomut, the first the oldest example of this type we know, probably 18th century). £2,000-2,500

Lot 1936
1936. Ersari Turkmen torba, with chemche gul pattern, south Turkmenistan late 19th century, 10.5in. x 3ft.3in. 0.28m. x 1m. Slight even wear overall. The best known group with this design are by the Salor, with which this torba shares not only the field pattern but also the two principal border patterns. However, both the palette, the particular version of the field design and the structure all suggest an Ersari provenance. £200-300
