| | SKINNER'S SALE: SEPTEMBER 19, 1992 |
 | | Lot 154, shown in color in the catalog, was listed as a mid-19th century Talish prayer rug, but neither the design nor the colors suggested this origin. |
 | | It had excellent fleecy wool, colors that were clear and saturated (albeit a rather limited number of them), a completely believable mid-19th century attribution, good condition except for the selvages and some fraying at the corners, rarity and great aesthetic appeal. |
 | | A third piece, shown in color in the catalog, was listed as a mid-19th century Talish prayer rug (Lot 154), but neither the design nor the colors suggested this origin. |
