Antique Fachralo (original name - Fakhrali, Fakhraly) rug, mid 19th century, Borchaly / Bordjalou Uyezd


Lot: 234


Fachralo Kazak Red-ground Fachralo Kazaks are encountered far less frequently than green-ground pieces. This elite example from an old American private collection, with a spacious composition of generously drawn designs, is comparable to a red Fachralo in the Textile Museum, Washington D.C., published by Tschebull. They only differ in border design. – The upper finish has been expertly repiled, otherwise in very good condition, with the original selvedges and lower kilim finish.
