Type: Turkish Rug - Yastik JBOC Notes:
Catalog Discription:
Title Anatolian Yastik
Central Anatolia
Size 2'9" x 2'
Date 1850 or earlier
Cat. No. 253
Description This yastik displays palette and
design features (paired flowers and rosettes in
the main border) that suggest a possible central
Anatolian attribution. Yet,
a field design of multiple stacked and hooked
medallions hint at a more easterly venue,
possibly the Sivas region.
Design motifs, both primary and secondary, are
simple and well drawn. The dyes are from natural
sources and are extraordinary in their depth.
These include a strong reddish-orange and rich
blue-green.
Condition: Very good. There is pile loss at both
ends, mostly the bottom as shown in a detail
view. When acquired, there was considerable
oxidation of the brown and three holes in the
lower one-third of the piece. These problems were
addressed with high quality repairs made in
Istanbul. The entire piece now has full pile in
soft, lustrous wool.
Structure Warps: Wool, Ivory.
Two strands, Z-spun, S-plied.
Wefts: Wool. Light orange. Two -three shoots.
Knots: Symmetrical, one level.
Sides: Two warps bundled and overcast.
Ends: Reduced.
