Lesley
Pinner was a botanist of profession and an enthusiastic collector
with a great knowledge of structure and weaving techniques.
Most of the Pinner collection was bought during Leslie Pinner's
lifetime. She died in 1982. Now retired, Robert Pinner was a
metallurgist. He was co-founder and co-owner of Hali Publications
until 1985. He was editor of Hali from 1979-1984 and co-founder of
the International Conference of Oriental Carpets. |
| The auction catalogues for the Major
spring auction includes catalogue no. 62 "Pinner
Collection", a CD-rom with excellent images and a booklet
with "Structural Analyses" for the "Pinner"
rugs (English and German). A printed catalogue no. 63 describes
the rugs and textiles in part II of the auction
(German). |
Lot 69 Saryk hanging ca. 1800 size 46 x 132
cm. Estimate 19.500 Euro. See detail.
|
The Pinner Collection includes 110 rugs
and textiles with estimates from 400 EURO - for a Yomut mafrash -
to 40.000 Euro for a rare Tekke asmalyk. So a low budget collector
can also be owner of a "Pinner" rug and that increases
the interest for this auction. |
