Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding on these lots. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import this type of lot into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid.

The present Kurdish rug was woven in the mountainous region surrounding Lake Urmia in northern Azerbaijan. Sauj Bulaq rugs have distinctive ornamentation which reveal influences of the rugs from the nearby Caucasus and are associated with having particularly captivating colour palettes of brilliant, harmonious colours woven with a lustrous wool. The lightly corroded dark brown field of the present lot is densely packed with a mosaic of polychrome serrated lozenges, known as ashlik, that appear frequently in rug designs from this region, (see James D. Burns, Antique Rugs of Kurdistan. A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, London 2002, no.49, pp.160-1).
