Antique Zakatala rug with memling guls, North Azerbaijan, 19th century. Rippon Boswell & Co. International Auctioneers of Rare Carpets & Textiles |
|
Major Autumn Auction
Zakatale Twelve sea green, red and dark blue Memling güls are arranged in
rows on a white field. The white-ground border shows stepped `S´ forms,
probably highly abstract depictions of dragons. Carpets made in the
villages around Zakatale used to be known as Genje or Kazak. The fact that
they form an independent group only came to light some 20 years ago
through publications. – Very good condition, original finishes all around,
plaited warp ends, full pile.
Size:210 x 120 cm
Age:Late 19th century Estimate:3.800,00 €
