Private Collection just acquired.
This beautiful prayer-rug, made circa 1880 by Timuri Yaqoub Khani tribes, is as finely knotted as they come!
It has been hanging on a wall for many years and has survived in near-mint condition with complete ''elems'' or skirts at each end.
The central field and hand-panels are knotted in natural, undyed camel-hair and comprises an intricately-drawn ''tree-of-life'' in the centre. All the colours are good from vegetable-dyes.
An amazing rug and certainly best of type.
Size: 1.50 x 0.79m (4'' 11'' x 2'' 7'').
