The Alberto Boralevi XXX Kirghiz Bag

Richard Rothstein Oriental Rugs  Hagop Manoyan Antique Rugs

I spotted this Kirghiz Bag on www.Cloudband.com offered by Alberto Boralevi a dealer on our Trusted resource List, The Carpet Studio of Alberto Boralevi

Trusted Resource List - Rug & Carpet Dealers Outside The U.S.The Carpet Studio of Alberto Boralevi

Size: 57 x 50 cm / 1'10" x 1'8"

Region: Central Asia - Kirghiz

Item Type: Bagface

Period / Date: 20th century - early (1900 - 1933)

Other Colours: red (two shades)

Materials: all wool

Structure / Technique: asymetric knot, open to left

Comments On Condition: slightly worn, but generally ggood. Small area of repiling on one side

Full Description: I call this the XXX bagface -nothing to do with pornography-, because of its pattern, that I have found only in a late Baluch Balisht face. This piece is certainly Central Asian and I guess if it is Kirghiz or Uzbek. Its colours are all natural dyes and the wool is soft and shining

JBOC's Notes:

This is a nice Khirghiz piece with exceptional graphics. Please note the two blues and the excellent yellow.
