Lot 1911A


1911A. Pair of Yomut Turkmen chuval faces, Turkmenistan, late 19th century, 2ft. 7in. x 3ft. 3in. 0.79m. x 1m. Losses to sides; damage to lower elems. Both with good velvety wool. £300-350


Lot 1910A Lot 1909


1909. Attractive part cotton Cal ‘banded’ kelim, south west Anatolia, second half 19th century, 7ft. x 4ft.10in. 2.11m. x 1.47m. Slight damage to narrow bands across centre, one or two small areas of damage to both long sides. This complete kelim has a number of structural characteristics associated with the small south west weaving village of Cal, which, being found together on this one piece, makes the attribution convincing. Like the majority of kelims attributed to Cal, this example is rectangular and woven in one piece; several small details of the design are worked in cotton apparently at random and the warps, too, are of cotton, another unusual and distinctive feature of Cal kelims. Like many ‘banded’ kelims, this example has the parmak and variants as the principal design element; it also has a wide variety of soft, pleasant, colours typical of 19th century Anatolian kelims. Now sewn down on to linen backing £1,000-1,500


TURKMEN RUGS


1910A. Good Chodor main carpet, south Turkmenistan, mid-19th century, 12ft. 7in. x 7ft. 5in. 3.84m. x 2.26m. Overall uneven wear, heavier in places, creases and losses to kelim ends; remnants of glue to verso in places. Note: This is a large and handsome Chodor carpet with very rich colour. The rendition of the ertmen gols is very similar to those in the example illustrated in Loges, Turkoman Tribal Rugs, no. 64. pp. 108-9, although the decoration in the minor dark blue and dark green ground guls is markedly different. Both carpets also have very similar erre pattern elems at both ends with small trefoil motifs alternating between ivory and buff, the latter colour sparingly used in the minor guls. £600-800
