About the Item
Part of 59th Venice Biennale Collection.
History, memory and the post-tribal inform the work of Persian-born artist Firouz Farman Farmaian, whose lifetime of living in exile in Paris, in Andalusia and in North Africa profoundly influenced both his creative practice and individual character. "It is circumstance that ultimately shapes lives" says the artist, whose work seeks to actively engage in bridging dialogues between past and future, east and west, archaic craft and innovative technology.
As such, his compositions possess a vivacious and spontaneous energy, as well as a deeply symbolic quality, which speaks to a multiplicity of currents in ecology, politics, art and philosophy. Originally rooted in Persian lore and focused on themes of nature, architectonics and interplay between realism and abstraction, Farman Farmaian's ever evolving body of work presents deep underlying explorative segments united by common motifs of movement and texture. The raw and visceral emotion of his pieces is tempered by material properties often produced and sourced within the framework of tribal collaborative craftsmanship.

Minimalist Woolen Namad Felt, 19th Century – Afghanistan
Located in Renens, CH
For millennia, Central Asian nomads relied on age-old designs. Felt, prized for its insulation and portability, featured prominently in their lives until its decline a few decades ago.
Essential within yurts, it often served as protective coverings for entrances. Originating from Sistan, an isolated area straddling Iran and Afghanistan, Namad felts have endured unchanged, adorned with ancient symbols. Their remarkable modernity stems from their isolation from urban decorative influences, preserving their remote motifs through the ages.
The felts we have on offer originate from a collection that was acquired at Altai Gallery in Milan, a high-end gallery specialized in antique rugs and tapestries.
Origination: Afghanistan, end 1900s. Provenance: Altai Gallery Milano. Certificate provided.
Condition: Good, considering age. Reinforcing repairs have been made over the years on the underside. Please note that the felt wool rug...

Kyrgyz Felt Fragment Rug, 19th Century
Felt working has a special place among the domestic arts of the nomads of Eurasia. Produced more easily than woven textiles and with incredible insulating properties, felt was vital for the construction of yurts and life on the harsh steppe. In the Kyrgyz tradition, felt pieces composed of sewn and backed reciprocal designs are known as ‘shyrdak’. Despite their utilitarian function, nomadic craftswomen imbued their felt pieces with the same care and artistry that defined their material culture. Nonetheless, the lifespan of a shyrdak was relatively short, about 10 to 15 years, and older pieces were frequently recycled for scrap or integrated back into newer production. Hence, older pieces are much more rare than one might expect. This square Central Asian shyrdak makes use of antique vegetable...
