Chelaberd
mid 19th century, 197 x 132 cm, South Caucasus, Nagorny Karabagh
Two immaculately drawn sunburst medallions in light green and blue fill the light red field. The perfect division of space creates a harmonious and balanced appearance. The brilliant transparent colours and meticulous execution, down to the small details, suggest that this Karabagh was woven around 1850. The late collector purchased the rug at Galerie Eberhart Herrmann in Munich in 1993.
