Catalogue note
Six medallions on an ivory field within a running-dog border, the drawing bold and the palette limited to five colours. Village weaving of the better sort.
Condition report
Fair Reported by Farida Nasr on September 7, 2026
Pile low overall, approximately 40 per cent reduced against the original. One end with 2 in. of loss, the other rewoven. Two moth-damaged areas at the field, each about 4 in. square, repiled. Colours original and not painted.
A condition report is an opinion, honestly held, given as a courtesy and not a warranty. It is not a substitute for examining the lot yourself, and the absence of a reference to a defect does not imply that the lot is free from it. Every lot is sold as is.
Provenance
- to date Private collection, New Mexico.
Every provenance chain on this demonstration site is invented. No real collection, sale or ownership history is described.
