拍品描述
AN ANATOLIAN SAPH 18TH CENTURY Approximately 287cm x 165cm, the frame 329cm x 203cm This extraordinary prayer kilim is not only beautiful and powerful but also extremely rare. Probably an unpublished example, there are currently only two other documented kilims of this type and design. One example is well known, from The Galveston Collection, and published in 'One Hundred Kilims, Masterpieces from Anatolia' by Yanni Petsopoulos, Alexandria Press, London, 1991. This example is also published in Hali, Issue 67, Feb/March 1993, where it is dated as 'pre 1800' and described as 'without known close analogues in design and palette'. The second example appeared at auction on the 27th March 2021, in Vienna with The Austria Auction Company (lot 139). Dated to the 18th century, it achieved a price, with commission, of 37,500 Euros. Like the Kime example here, both of these kilims are composed of five prayer niches, and are of a similar size overall, a fact that suggests that the present lot is complete and not a fragment of a larger piece. Each example shares a strongly architectural design with receding prayer arches reminiscent of the domes and minarets of mosques. The design is an exercise in perspective, with the third row of domes evoking a semi-abstract sky-line of an important Islamic city. Unlike these comparative examples, however, the Kime kilim has a wider central niche than in the flanking niches, with higher arches and domes. This increases the drama of the design and further accentuate the sense of perspective. Where these kilims were woven is not clear. Hali Magazine, in their review of the sale of the Austria Auction Company saph (Hali 208, p.136), suggest a central Anatolian origin, perhaps to the south of Konya, but also point out that the narrow stripes that separate the prayer niches are typical of the Sivas region, to the northeast.
