Lot 26
 
Quick Zoom

Circa 1920s
Natural / vegetable dye
Approx. 8ft x 4ft 6in (243.8 x 137.2 cms)


This carpet has six continuous diamond motifs and within it is an array of geometric symbols - - the eagle, ram, stars, all signifying the positive elements of nature. Surrounding this bands is an explosion of stars and flower patterns.
However what is most interesting is that the background is not in one solid color but rather a serration of multiple hues.
Invariably the designs of a Kashgar are multi-cultural, one of a kind, displaying a rich array of medallions. The lines are neither too ornate nor geometrical just perfectly balanced.
