Lot Nr.: 68
Description: SHAHSAVAN
BAG FACE Origin: South East Caucasus, Moghan
Region, 1st half 19th c.
Size: ca. 60 x 50 cm
Estimate EUR: 15,000
Notes
Among the Shahsavan bags, those with an arrow gul
design have a very special magic. Over the years,
RIPPON BOSWELL was now and then able to offer
such gems, reaching higher and higher results,
last November even 28,000 € for a bag with a
- so far - unknown border drawing. – This
piece, presently unpublished, seems to be one of
the oldest and finest, with tiny details worked
in silk, and four miniature animals. It is almost
a twin to a bag in the Swan Collection in the
U.S.A. – In very good condition.
