plate 54 |
JBOC Note: Compare this
example to Baluch
Woven Treasures plate 54. Col Boucher attributed his
to Afghanistan in the mid 19th century. I find this
attribution problematic. First of all by size, shape,
anmd range of color I feel both of these are Persian
Timuri. The attribution to the Yacub Khani bothers me
since the Yacub Khan did not become Yacub Khani or return
to Afghanistan until after 1873. The Timuri did not make
rugs like this until they moved to Persia in 1857 and if
we wish to attribute this to the Yacub Khani we would
have to say "late 19th century" and even then
the color would be wrong.
I think this rug is a mid 19th century
Persian Timuri circa and I would attribute Boucher's
plate 54 the same.
