Early Saryk Main Carpet
New
285 x 250 cm (9' 4" x 8' 2")
Turkmenistan, 17th/18th century
Condition: according to age, low pile in places, slightly incomplete all around, missing parts and small holes backed with fabric, scattered small repairs, signs of use
Provenance: ex Hans-Christian Sienknecht collection
Warp: wool, weft: wool, pile: wool
When one approaches this carpet, one is struck by its outstanding quality, and any imperfections fade into the background.
A distinguished collector like Hans-Christian Sienknecht was not interested in undertaking any restoration attempts, but simply in preserving this significant piece.
Five rows of nine imposing Temirjin-Güls cover the field. The name likely derives from Timur, Tamerlan. Jürg Rageth writes on this subject in his book "Turkmen Carpets: A New Perspective" on page 592: "The Temirjin-Gül would thus be another pattern originating from this period that was adopted by the Turkmen from the repertoire of Timurid carpet patterns, or at least inspired by it." He dates the piece illustrated on page 109 to the 17th or 18th century.
The warm brown-red of the field harmonizes beautifully with the apricot tone in the guls. Among the not-too-common carpets of this type, most - just over a dozen - feature four rows of Temirjin-Gül, and only three other pieces with five rows are known: Rippon Boswell 66, 2005, Lot 62; Herrmann ATT 4, 1992, No. 94; Christie's London, October 19, 1995, Lot 461.
A carpet that is not only very rare but also significant and early, with outstanding charisma.
Estimate: € 20000 - 30000
