Date 1800 - 1850
Cat. No. 187
Description This fragment is a rare Uzbek short
pile rug. Uzbek weavings of this type and age
traditionally consist of two or more strips woven
on a narrow-beam loom and then sewn together. The
surviving portions of this rug appear to be the
two middle strips of a four section rug in the
runner format. Unlike so many later Uzbek
weavings this piece has all natural dye. The
colors are rich. There are no dye runs of any
kind.
Condition: This piece is a fragment. There are
low areas and three holes. Otherwise, the
existing pile is in good condition, particularly
for a carpet of this age.
Literature see: Moshkova, Carpets of the People
of Central Asia, Chapter 11, Uzbek Weavings of
the Samarqand Region, (for a general discussion
of traditional Uzbek short pile weavings)
Price $9500.00
