Large Lambalo Kazak
New
370 x 185 cm (12' 2" x 6' 1")
Caucasus, late 19th century
Condition: very good, full pile, corroded dark brown, scattered small repairs
Warp: wool, weft: wool, pile: wool
Lambalo-Kazaks are quite rare, so it is a true delight to come across such a colorful and well-preserved piece. Lambalos often feature a red field surrounded by a multi-layered border system. See Azadi/Kerimov/Zollinger, "Azerbaijani-Caucasian Carpets," nos. 162 - 165.
Two of these carpets feature these floral medallions within a large diamond shape that leaves only triangles of the ground open at the top and bottom. Another example can be found in Gans-Ruedin, "Caucasian Carpets," page 107. However, none of these pieces feature the white stars; nor is any of them nearly as beautiful.
In the auction commentary on a carpet that likely originates from the same workshop as ours, HALI made an interesting observation in issue 74 on page 140. There, the field pattern was described as an abstracted Mina Khani design. It was described as a very dramatic specimen, whose impact is further enhanced by the unusual white corners.
This carpet also bore a date, albeit one that was more legible, from the Hijri year 1329, which corresponds to 1911 CE. In the lower section of the deep blue, precisely rendered field, one can see that the weaver initially attempted to connect the flowers with jagged lines, but fortunately decided against it. Further up, she deliberately placed an aubergine-black flower as an eye-catcher. In the green flowers, we discover a wonderful abrash.
Diverse narrow borders are a hallmark of Lambalo Kazaks; however, the floral scroll pattern - usually on a white background and here also on yellow - is a must. A warm, friendly, and rare carpet that evokes the joy of early summer.
Estimate: € 10000 - 15000
