| Dear all, I reproduce here, with its permission, William Eaggleton advice concerning Rug3 & Rug4 Dear Daniel I enjoyed the discussion from my office in Layoune, Western Sahara. A problem for me however is that I do not have a rug library here, or any of my rugs to consult in connection with your attributions. Your opinion regarding rug #3 is likely correct provided the back of the rug has that characteristic early Qushan "look",,ie a crisp rendition of the design with red wefts predominating. The long format is not typical, but long rugs from the region do exist. What else could it be? Luri--possibly, but not likely? Hashtrud? Close but not quite right. In any case it is as very interesting rug. Regarding #4, the cotton structure does not point to as Kurdish provenance. Karadagh is a convenient label for such pieces, but northwest Iran is perhaps safer. I do miss rugs here in the desert. The nearest place to see any is Marrakesh. Best wishes Bill Eagleton |
