Inv#15871 This exceptional corridor carpet exhibits all the hallmarks of woven dynamism that great Kurdish rugs are known for. Large elements are balanced against smaller motifs, colors are masterfully dyed and matched, and the use of white is perfect, used not only to highlight the central element of the field but to integrate elements of the border with it. a central column is formed by mainly boxy large elements in the field reminiscent of the medallion centers of both post-classical East Anatolian pieces as well as eighteenth and nineteenth century Caucasian pieces. a constellation of ornament, including flowers, animals and purely geometric motifs, flicker against an indigo ground. Although, most probably woven in Northwest Persia, the minor border used is of a type often seen in early examples of Anatolian weaving. The same may be said of the multi-colored side selvedges which seem to be of a type more often found in Kurdish weavings from southeastern Anatolia. The piece is inscribed and dated 1244 which corresponds to the date 1829. As such this piece may represent traditions that may have been more widely shared between Kurdish village weavers of Iran and the Ottoman empire. The piece is in very good condition with about 15% of the pile throughout rewoven. Provenance: Joseph Fell Collection, Chicago
