"Pair Of Fragments From Maffrash Karabakh / Caucasus. Circa 1850. 53 X 50 Cm (x2)"
In remarkable condition, this pair of Maffrash fragments is iconic. The motifs, the Sumak technique, the dense and saturated hues—everything points to the prestigious weaving work of the Armenian people. I have the pieces before me, and a feeling of admiration prevails. It is simply moving. This know-how, this dexterity. The incredible harmony of natural and plant-based colors. This brilliance that has survived the centuries. These ultra-precise motifs that seem sculpted from the material...it borders on perfection. Circa 1850. Impeccable condition. Dimensions: 53 x 50 cm.
