Three Uzbek ghujeri, each made up of narrow horizontally (largest two) or vertically sewn strips of plainweave and weft-float brocade, Uzbekistan or Afghanistan late 19th- early 20th century, 8ft.3in. x 5ft.11in. 2.51m. x 1.80m., 6ft.10in. x 6ft.5in. 2.08m. x 1.96m. and 6ft.4in. x 3ft.5in. 1.93m. x 1.04m. The first with some small holes, the second likewise and with fading. (3)
Lot 1
A rare and extremely interesting Ersari Turkmen ensi, south Turkmenistan, early to mid 19th century, 6ft.2in. x 5ft. 1.88m. x 1.52m. Areas of fairly heavy wear, principally in the centre, with crude repiling in places. At first glance, this would be thought a Saryk ensi, with all the motifs associated with the earliest and rarest type; other than the general spaciousness of the design, a particular characteristic of Saryk ensis, specific Saryk design elements include the distinctive form of shrub called kelle, the central four panels with a variant of the usual kush candelabra motif called the dogry darak, with the inner vertical kelle panels framed by small guards containing white 'S' or 'double S' motifs called algam and, below the central sections, the ten small 'boxes' each containing miniature versions of the central dogry darak motif (see, for example, the Cootner Saryk ensi in Mackie and Thompson, Turkmen, pl. 24). However, not only is our rug asymmetrically knotted, but such design elements as the 'vine meander' in the inner and outer blue ground guards (called shudur or 'almond blossom' in Farsi) are borrowed from the design repertoire of Persian tribal weaving; such borrowings are found only on Ersari weavings for reasons which have never been satisfactorily explained.
Lot 1
Transcaucasian rug, Kazak or Genje region, third quarter 19th century, 7ft.6in. x 3ft.4in. 2.29m. x 1.02m. Very slight wear, somewhat heavier upper left field, dark brown slightly corroded. Although many of the comments made on the previous rug apply here, there also differences which on enforce the difficulties of location-specific attributions. The structure of the rug is as 'na•ve' as the design, the pale reddish brown wefting varying randomly from double to triple throughout the entire length. The principal border motif, a small octagon, is also fairly unusual and is most often found on rugs attributed to Genje (e.g. Bennett, Oriental Rugs Volume 1: Caucasian, nos. 151 and 170, although the first of these, as the text suggests, might well be an unusual Kazak and the attribution of the second is by no means certain). The rich and varied colours of our rug and its charming naivety of design suggest a genuine village or semi-nomadic rug of good age possibly by a Kurdish group.
Lot 1
Unusual and attractive long rug by the Shekarlu taifeh of the Qashqa'i Confederation, Fars province, south west Persia second half of the 19th century 9ft.10in. x 4ft.10in. 3m. x 1.47m.
