拍品专文

This rug is of a well-known type which is one of the few that can be identified with some confidence in texts of the period. The dowry for Klára Tasi when she married Peter Szentiváni in 1650 included "two small red column Turkish rugs for table covers". There are a number of comparable examples including those in the Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest (Ferenc Batári: Ottoman Turkish Carpets, Budapest, 1994, no.68; Gyula Végh and Károly Layer: Turkish Rugs in Transylvania, Fishguard, no.23) and in the Black Church, Brasov (Kertesz-Badrus, Andrei: Türkische Teppiche in Siebenbürgen, Bucharest, 1985, no.21).
