A Striking Victorian Walnut Horseshoe-Back Upholstered Armchair c.1870 sub-Religion & Relics Quchan is an important collection

Quchan is an important collection point for Kurdish and Afshar tribal and village rugs and this group of rugs is known for spontaneous and colourful fields

The crib can still be used in the same way today though the presence of a piece such as this also serves to highlight what is absent

This very fragile work has suffered somewhat in its 170-year life

with contrasting light and darkness

Grand and glorious
