Khidai underlay animals and human figures

animals and human figures

A free working of the pattern in an all wool construction and a glorious disregard for colour symmetry which may be a result of it having been cut down from a longer rug at some stage

A mid 20th century rug from Anatolia with a "Memlinc-gul" design (a pattern first known in Europe from the paintings by Hans Memling in the 15th century)

Glowing red

Khidai underlay animals and human figuresA cushion made from a 1930s Baluchi saddlebag. Brocaded and woven front and back with fringing and tassels. Blue, walnut brown, cream, accents in pale orange, pink. A genuine and robust antique not to be confused with modern versions that use flimsier woven panels. Works well with Jamot. 52 x 43cm
