Kordi balisht, second half 19th century

Measurements: 69cm x 36cm

63 Knots per inch

Price: £230

This balisht or pillow bag has a simple beauty with three rows of multicoloured stars on a soft brown/red field. Oriental rugs and trappings can often have intricate and complex designs but I think this little piece shows that you can achieve something special with a simple repeated design in soft well balanced colours. I saw this hanging over the back of a chair at a friendly dealers house and knew immediately it was one for my collection.

Condition:

Fair condition with a little wear to the edges.
