拍品描述
A 'SMALL-PATTERNED HOLBEIN' RUG WESTERN ANATOLIA, 16TH CENTURY Approximately 175cm x 135cm This early and exquisite rug is a rare and apparently unpublished example of a well known group of Ottoman rugs thought to date from the mid 15th until the mid16th centuries. It is thought that these rugs were woven in western Anatolia, in the Ushak region. The rugs in this group share a design of alternating columns of octagonal and cruciform medallions, and in this rug the design is set on a deep, bottle green ground. The rug displays remarkable retention of colour. Most rugs from the group have a variant of a 'kufic' border design that is reminiscent of a type of stylised calligraphy that originated in the city of Kufa in the 7th century. However, this rug is different, and although the border has aspects in common with 'kufic' border designs, it is particularly rare in its combination of design elements (for example the use of partial stellar motifs). The border is also uncharacteristically wide. The group derive their name from the painter Hans Holbein the Younger, as a rug of this design appears in his Portrait of George Gisze of 1532. However, rugs of this design appear in the work of many European artists from the mid 15th until the 17th century, see: Mills, John 'Small Pattern Holbein' Carpets in Western Paintings, Hali, vol.1 no.4, 1978, pp 326-334. Among these are Piero della Francesca, Andrea Mantegna and Domenico Ghirlandaio. Perhaps most famously, an example of a rug of this type appears in a painting, artist unknown, that documents the Somerset Conference of 1604, a peace treaty to negotiate the end of the Anglo-Spanish war. This painting hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. For related examples at auction see Christie's, London 27th April 2023, lot 198; Christie's, London 1st May 2003, lot 34. Both of these examples are much more worn than the present lot.
