Item Details
Description
Mid 19th century, 97 x 117 x 20 cm, Central Asia, West Turkestan

Most of the white-ground trappings of this kind - unmistakeable on account of their shape of one horizontal panel and right-angled arms - were made by the Tekke, Salor and Saryk. The memorable design consists of large curled leaves attached to a wavy vine. Such trappings were part of the bridal dowry and fixed to the inner door frame of the bridal tent during wedding ceremonies. Published by Eskenazi as early as 1983, this very finely woven example with a carefully drawn design in unfaded colours is a very beautiful collector's item. - Good condition, with the pile preserved at its original height; original finishes all around.
