"Yomud Turkmen Saddle Pad. Circa 1880. 112 X 70 Cm"
Superb Yomuth Turkmen saddle blanket. Knotted pile technique. Very short pile. Very fine quality hand-spun wool. Guls motifs in the central field. The lower section features small, subtle geometric patterns. Their unexpected presence lends this piece a certain refinement. The indigo blues are delightful. The background is ochre red with a beautiful depth. Circa 1880. Dimensions: 112 x 70 cm. Laurent Beauty of Kilims
