A TURKEY RUG OF 'SMALL-PATTERNED HOLBEIN' DESIGN approximately 175 x 135cm Provenance: The personal collection of the Late Robert Kime, LVO (1946-2022) This rug has been made to the design of a well known group of Ottoman rugs thought to date from the mid 15th until the mid 16th centuries. It is thought that these rugs were woven in western Anatolia, in the Ushak region. Most rugs from the group of the early period 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 unusual in its combination of design elements (for example the use of partial stellar motifs). The border is also uncharacteristically wide. The early group of rugs that the design of this piece is based upon 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, early 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. Condition Report: Generally in good pile, and in largely original condition. A small number of small areas of re-piling and repair. Corrosion to charcoal wool, with darkest brown pile mostly lost. Lighter walnut brown also corroded, pile low but mostly extant. Selvages (side cords) not original, and missing in places. Uneven loss to both ends, with outer guard stripe partially lost The top has been backed with Hessian and velcro - this is to allow for hanging to a wallPlease see additional images for visual reference to condition Condition Report Disclaimer
