Item Details
Description
second half 19th century, 286 x 130 cm, Central Caucasus

The so-called Memling gul is an ancient design encountered as far back as 15th century Anatolian carpets. The distinctive design is often seen in 19th century Caucasian rugs, usually weavings from the Kazak, Karabagh and Moghan regions. Judging by its structure using a coarse weave, red wefts and flatwoven polychrome selvedges, this beautiful example was made in Genje, the former Tsarist Elisabethpol Governorate. The field contains a two-row cassette design of sixteen large Memling guls in different colour combinations that are framed by octagons in contrasting colours.

Minor repairs, corroded brown, some damage to the lower finish. Provenance: Ehrengard Freifrau von Trotha Collection. Formerly in the collection of Peter-Christian Graf von Kleist-Retzow
