690. a captivating antique Beshir Turkoman carpet
690. Provenance: Beshir sub-tribe, Ersari, Turkoman group, Turkmenistan/northern Afghanistan
Age: Circa 1920
Size: 226 x 186 cm
Condition: Good.
Notes: A most unusual design, with 48 'chuval' sytel guls, sitting within a relatively simple border. This is almost like an extremely oversized storage bag (chuval) in concept and feel. What makes this somewhat niaive piece stand out is the wonderful colouring itself, as well as the imaginative use of the colour, breaking up what could have been a rather monotonous field. Gorgeous.
