carpet - sumakh. The grandmother spoke me that he very
old. Whether who can or help me to define his(its)
derivation and market value for the insurance company.
His(its) size 172sm x 200sm.
Is beforehand grateful
Yours faithfully
Ralf
Hello Ralf,
I moved your pictures over to this page. I try not
to send large emails to the group. I spotted Michael Craycraft's reply
(below) and included that. MC is one the great rug dealers in the world
and he knows his stuff. I agree with him it certainly appears to be a 19th
century Caucasian soumak. I have been taking a closer look at Caucasian
Flatweveaves. They are not done yet but I am assembleing my notes:

your rug is of a type often called Dragon Sumac. I
believe yours is Lesghi from Northeast Azerbaijan and most likely from
the Kusari area.
Best wishes,
Barry O'Connell

Ralf, your images are out of focus but even at that it appears that you
have
a 19th Caucasian soumak. If it is not overly repaired it is worth in
excess
of $5,000. mc |
