Kirghiz Appliqué , Central Asia, late19th century/early 20th century, $ 2500 |
|
|
| This unusually ornate applique was made in Central Asia by one of the many Kirghiz tribes of the region. The sparse, almost regal presenation of design and patterning is clearly not the norm for these Central Asian groups and this piece stands apart from the other examples of textile art from these non Turkmen Central Asian groups. . |
|
|
The patterning consists of dyed felt trade cloth, cut and sewn onto the red ground. The style of design clearly suggests the Kirghiz origin, though such ornate techniques are also practiced by some Uzbek groups as well as the inhabitants of Resht, in n. Persia.

COLORS- All natural dyes
CONDITION- Good, No holes, no repairs, no stains, no obvious or hidden flaws. This is an antique weaving, therefore it cannot be expected that it will be in “new condition”. The terms used for describing condition are consistent with common usage in the marketplaces all over the world. Obvious flaws including repair, holes and stains WILL BE noted in all descriptions.

| SHIPPING POLICY
-- TribalSource will gladly pay any shipping costs for rugs and
textiles that are sold to clients within the US. International
buyers will pay for shipping costs. In the event of return of
an item, the client is responsible for shipping costs both ways.
Shipping will be done by the least expensive method possible,
usually the US Postal Service offers the most expedient service
for the price with PRIORITY MAIL available for domestic shipments,
airmail parcel post for international shipping. Insurance is
recommended but the responsibility of both US and international
buyers. As is my policy with both eBay and www.cocoontr.com,
full payment should be made prior to shipping. Known clients
of mine with a favorable history can expect same day shipping
when payment is received, with no waiting period involved. |
|
RETURN POLICY -- Any rug will be gladly taken back (shipping costs for BOTH ways the responsibility of the client) with full refund of cost price (less shipping costs) up to 7 days after the rug was received. Naturally, it must arrive back in the same condition as it was sent. I realize that buying from photos can be risky but TribalSource on eBay has never had a problem with representational photographs or with accurate condition reports, etc.
You can place your trust in TribalSource; please do refer to my feedback forum on eBay. I have been in business for some years now and have maintained a reputation at international trade shows and in the pages of HALI which transcends my presence on the internet. Responsibility and accountability over the long term to my clientele is of utmost importance, and I strive to maintain my commitments to the people with whom I have an exchange. I value personal interaction and try to establish a sensitive, responsive relationship with each of my clients.
