An exceptional Lori Pambak Kazak rug, south west Caucasus, about 1860-70, 6ft.8in.x 5ft.7in. 2.03m. x 1.70m. Kink top end centre Ð no damage to pile. Mike Tschebull, in his essay on this and three other design types of Kazak rug (Raoul Tschebull, 'The Development of Four Kazak Designs', Hali vol. 1, no. 3, 1978, pp. 257-261) illustrates seven examples which show the development of this most distinctive motif throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. The earliest version is seen on two rugs, one of which is dated the Hegira equivalent of 1846AD (figs. 21-6); the central green cruciform medallion, the defining characteristic of this group as a whole, is drawn in a more fluid and zoomorphic form than on later versions and although Tschebull suggests a link to Turkmen gols (perhaps a tamga or tribal emblem is a more probable), the central motif on these early examples also seems to show recognisably Chinese antecedents. The second of Tschebull's groups is represented by a rug dated the equivalent of 1897 (fig. 29); this is closer to the rug offered here but has some small but appreciable differences. It is virtually identical to the rug illustrated by Bennett, Oriental Rugs Volume I: Caucasian, no. 5 and may share the latter's somewhat harsh palette. Design differences include the three arrow heads above and below the principal motif on the Tschebull and Bennett rugs as opposed to the blue serrate-edged motifs seen on this rug which are close to those seen in the same position on the earlier rugs. Similarly, the present rug retains the double 'crests' on the opposed pairs of birds' heads at top and bottom of the green cruciform; in the later examples, these become single 'crests' and on even later rugs made around 1910 disappear altogether. Finally, the main ivory ground border of our rug, although a simplified version of the pattern seen on the earlier rugs, is much less angular and repetitive than the version used on the later examples; it also has the same series of simple quartered diamonds in the two flanking guards as the earlier rugs. In other words, both the design elements and the palette of this rug suggest that it represents an intermediate stage between Tschebull's early and middle groups, which would place it chronologically around the end of the third quarter of the 19th century, certainly before the introduction of synthetic dyes around 1875-80.

An Important Bass Viola da Gamba by Thomas Collingwood London 1680 retaining its original label Made by Thos. Collingwood and [in script and printed below] Sold by John Miller over-against the Fleece Tavern in Corn-hill 1680 the flat two-piece back of horizontal narrow curl with double-purfled edge and extensive lozenge and arrow-shaped inlaid decoration the ribs of medium curl the table of medium grain and inlaid with an elaborate fleur-de-lys foliate design cross-hatched with point d'aiguille the varnish of a golden-brown colour later neck and pegbox set for six strings the latter terminating in the original open scroll later fingerboard and tailpiece body length 27 in. (68.6 cm.) string length 26 1/4 in. (66.6 cm.) * This instrument has some repaired woodworm damage. However there can be very few surviving examples by this maker and the restoration is almost certainly the work of the highly respected Dietrich Kessler whose name is stamped on the bridge. It is in immediate playing condition. This is probably the gamba recorded in The British Violin (BVMA 2000) p.45. In the book the label is identical except that the name of the seller is recorded as John Fuller. In the present case the label is indistinct but the restorer has placed a transcription of his reading of it next to the original. Provenance: Peter & Ann Davies Collection
