Lot Essay

This lot is sold with an original invoice from D Arditti & Co, Tangier, showing its purchase in 1932 for GBP35. This is a particularly splendid example of a Khan's robe of superb quality and preservation.
See Pip Rau, Ikat, for discussion of the use of robes in Bokharan society of the 19th century.
