AN USHAK 'STAR' CARPET LATE 16TH/EARLY 17TH CENTURY Approximately 350 x 184cm With a design of repeating star-shaped medallions set against a background of floral vines, 'Star Ushak' carpets were highly prized, particularly amongst the European ruling elites, from the early 16th century. The design is thought to have evolved from motifs used in architectural tiles produced by Ottoman court workshops of the 15th century, and it is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive and beautiful found in surviving 'classical' period Ottoman and Safavid rugs. 'Star' Ushak carpets appear in the work of many European artists of the 16th and 17th centuries, first appearing under the throne of the Venetian Doge in Paris Bordone's 1534 painting'Fisherman Presenting a Ring to the Doge Gradenigo' (Galleria dell'Accademia, Venice). Perhaps most famously, however, Henry VIII is depicted standing on a 'Star' Ushak carpet in portraits by both Hans Holbein and Hans Eworth. Surviving 'Star' carpets are rare and as highly prized as ever by museums and private collectors alike. It is therefore remarkable to see two good and complete examples in the Robert Kime collection (see also lot 483). For similar examples at auction, see: Christie's, London, 12 May 2016, lot 252 Christie's, London, 28 October 2021, lot 128 Sotheby's, London, 23 April 2018, lot 38 Sotheby's, New York, 25 November 2008, lot 100    Condition Report: Pile worn to knot heads in many places, with foundation exposed in areas.

λ&nbspDAVID JONES (BRITISH 1895-1974) HORSES GRAZING; TWO FAWNS SITTING; SLEEPING FAWN; BIG CAT; CAT RESTING Etching Each signed (lower right) and numbered 15/20; Ed 20; 1/20; 4/20; 3/20 respectively (lower left) Born on 1st March 1896 in Brockley, Kent, David Jones navigated the realms of painting, illustration, poetry, and engraving with equal brilliance. He was a true polymath, integrating his various artistic pursuits into a singular and distinctive style that defied categorisation. In 1909, at the age of fourteen, Jones entered the Camberwell School of Art, however at the outbreak of the First World War he enlisted in the London Welsh Battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and spent 1915 to 1918 fighting at the front in France and seeing action at Ypres in the Battle of Passchendaele.  The horrors and traumas of war profoundly influenced his work, and themes of sacrifice, mortality, and spirituality became central to his artistic expression. His deep Catholic faith, nurtured from an early age, also played a significant role in shaping his artistic vision. In January 1921, Jones joined the Ditchling Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic, founded in 1919 by Hilary Pepler and Eric Gill as a religious fraternity for craftsmen. It was here that he learnt wood engraving and during the winter of 1924 he spent Christmas with Gill at the monastery at Capel-y-ffin, Abergavenny. Rediscovering his Welsh roots, Jones spent most of the next three years painting the rugged landscape of the Black Mountains. Dr Paul Hills comments on his work of this period: "The move from the relaxed, ample curves of the Sussex Downs...to the irregular inflexions of the Welsh hills and coast, effected a release from the borrowed idiom in which he had been working. In an autobiographical talk he told how he discovered, between 1924 and 1926, a fruitful direction for his work, particularly under `the impact of the strong hill-rhythms and the bright counter-rhythms of the "afonydd dyfroedd" (water-brooks)'. (Exhibition catalogue, David Jones, Tate Gallery, London, 1981, p.24)  As a painter, Jones excelled in capturing the essence of landscapes, often infusing them with a sense of mystical beauty and symbolism. His works exhibited a meticulous attention to detail and a mastery of techniques, blending elements of traditionalism with modernist influences. Whether depicting natural scenes, religious imagery, or historical events, his paintings possessed an ethereal quality that is as relevant and contemporary today as it was when painted.          Condition Report: All n overall good original condition. Some light undulation to the sheets and some light foxing to the lower margin of 'Cat Resting'. Under glass and unexamined out of frames.Condition Report Disclaimer
