Small Eagle Group II Goklen Rug circa 1860 from Nomad

EAGLE GROUP II (Goklen) / circa 1860

Size: 3'6" x 5'6"
Condition / Description: This little Kepsi gol (wedding?) rug is a relative of the early kepsi gol main rug. It is also a sub group, in that it has an asymmetric knot woven on cotton warps; whereas normally, the "Eagle Group" rugs have cotton wefts. This rug has brilliant shinny wool and colors and an intense rose-red that you see on Tekke and Salor weaving of the mid 19th century. The rug is in excellent condition , having good pile, original kelims, and only a few small holes rewoven.

Price: $3,800

I am not looking to buy or sell. I am reviewing this rug to place it in context and to use it as a teaching aid.

Thanks and best wishes,
