Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lot 259, ‘Lotto’ rug, probably Ushak, West Anatolia, first half 17th century. Estimate: £30,000-£40,000 The most interesting of the new-to-the-market rugs are a trio of classical Ushak ‘Lottos’ (lots 258-260), comprising two late 16th-century small carpets and one 17th-century early ‘Transylvanian’-period rug showing a ‘detail’ of the arabesque field. All three are consigned by an Italian noble family whose ancestors include a number of cardinals and Pope Alexander VII (d.1667), from whom it is said the family inherited the rugs. The two Lotto carpets are both estimated at £40,000-60,000, while the rug, of unusually square format, is expected to fetch £30,000-40,000.
Date first half 17th century
