Catalog Discription:
Anatolian
Yastik, Central Anatolia
Size 23" x 43"
Date 1875 -1900
Cat. No. 272
Description Because of their utilitarian nature
surviving yastiks whether pile or flat weave, are
few. Flat woven yastiks have proven to be
extremely rare. Here, the field has a pleasing
symmetry and compositional balance. There are
elongated panels or saf leaves, each containing
reciprocal 'animal heads'. There are blue and
yellow diamonds in an infinite repeat. The dyes
are from all natural sources. They are strong and
deeply saturated.
Condition: The yastik is mounted on cloth
backing. There are areas of wear, primarily in
the borders.
Price $3,500.00
Comments I originally came upon this yastik in
the late - 1900's. It was on the wall in a home
in Istanbul. I wanted to buy it. The owner did
not want to sell. Some years later, the owner
contacted me and offered the piece. The price,
however, was prohibitive. I was unable to buy. It
was eventually purchased by a dealer, who in need
of capital eventually sold it to me at a price
substantially below the original asking price. I
am passing on my saving in this price.
