拍品专文
The moon shawl (chandar) first appeared in Kashmir in 1680 and is characterised by its spacious, square field, central moon-like medallion, with further quarter medallions in each corner. This style developed from earlier sixteenth century Cairene carpets produced in Ottoman Egypt (Ryan Paveza. “Moon Shawl (Chand-Dar).” Art Institute of Chicago Museum Studies, vol. 34, no. 1, 2008, pp. 88–96, p.88) which share this arrangement of decoration (see, for example, two carpets sold in these Rooms, 29 April 2004, lot 101 and 7 October 2014, lot 24). Examples with this elegant striped design are unusual, and were particularly highly prized within the Jaipur royal court in Rajasthan. A comparable moon shawl with a striped design is in the Art Institute of Chicago (see ibid., pp.88-89), along with an example in the TAPI Collection in India (inv.no. TAPI 98.1590, Ruth Barnes, Stephen Cohen, and Rosemary Crill, Trade, Temple and Court: Indian Textiles from the Tapi Collection, Mumbai, 2002, no. 54, pp. 138-39). For further comparable moon shawls in the present sale, see lots 23, 44 and 75. Post Lot Text This lot has been imported from outside the EU for sale and placed under the Temporary Admission regime.

The general impression is very good. The shawl is mounted on indigo wool and has Velcro attached to top and bottom borders for mounting on a stretcher. Backed in fluffy blue cotton. The central medallion is slightly reduced by a seam/repair. Hashiyas (side borders) are old but probably not from this shawl. Lateral borders are edged with brown woven tape. Occasional old damage and repair.
