Antique Tekke Bokhara carpet, Merv region, Turkmenistan, Ca 1870-1890 This is a very fine example of the original ''Bokhara'' carpets, finely knotted and beautifully drawn by the weavers. Despite its apparent formality the carpet displays great originality and quirkiness: note the tiny human figure and token animals in the field as well as the spontaneous variations in the border design. A rare and highly accomplished piece in superb condition. 315 x 226 cms, 10'4'' x 7'5''
