Yomud Turkmen OkBosh, Central Asia, 19th century, 1'8 x 1'10", $1800 |
|
| This extremely colourful example of Turkoman weaving represents an awesome opportunity to buy a world class example as well rare example of a format that is often referred to as “ok bosh”. Conventional wisdom deems these pieces to have been used as tent pole covers during the migration. But I personally doubt this theory as these bags are too small for such a purpose as well as are too posh and expensive textiles to imagine being used for such a pedestrian purpose. Such pieces are rarely illustrated in the literature as there are just not many around. The aethetic quality is quite compelling with jagged zig zag motifs in various colors across the field. |

COLORS -- All natural dyes
CONDITION -- Good, with no holes, no stains, no repair, one minor wear line near the top center. The triangular flaps at the bottom are intact, a nice feature as often these appear damaged or torn from use. This is an antique textile 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.
