Anatolian Yastik Central Anatolia

Size 24" x 36"
Date 1890 - 1910
Cat. No. 252
Description This old yastik, with its blend of catma and pile tradition, has compositional similarity to plate #60 of Brian Morehouse's outstanding book on Anatolian pile yastiks. Morehouse suggests that the medallion-and-saf leaf design and the minimalist border conform to the catma tradition. While the rendering of the principal design motifs suggests a tie to Anatolian carpets.

There are, however, some interesting and significant differences. This example is less formatted and is perhaps more compatible with a pre-commercial heritage. The lappets, for example, are not missing from the weaving's top, they were simply not part of the original work. In plate #60 (Morehouse) the secondary motifs are distributed in a very symmetrical manner. Here, their placement is more whimsical, yet uncluttered in appearance.

Condition: Nearly perfect. There are isolated areas of very minor wear. The pile is otherwise full. There are areas of good quality repair done in Istanbul. Dyes are all natural and deeply saturated.

Structure Warps: Wool, undyed, light brown.
Two strands, Z-spun, S-plied.

Wefts: Wool. Dark brown. Two -three shoots.

Knots: Symmetrical, one level.

Sides: Re-cast. Three cord selvedge in perfect condition but not original

Ends: Perfect condition but not original.
