Jaffarbai Yomut Salachak (cot cover?) W&W

Woolley and Wallis. Eastern and Western carpets & rugs. Decorative textiles, needlework and samplers Sale on Thursday 16th January 2003

  Lot 400
Salachak (cot cover?) by the Jaffarbai Yomut,
north east Persia, first half 20th century, 4ft. x 3ft.3in. 1.22m. x 1m.
The exact function of these weavings remains controversial. The cot hypothesis has achieved the widest acceptance but the presence of a mihrab -like motif suggests the possibility of use as a prayer rug. All known examples seem comparatively recent.

Est:  £500-800 Hammer Price  £

JBOC Notes:  Compare this piece to Sotheby's Yomut brocaded flatweave.
