The Golden Triangle Syndrome
Hali, also the Turkish word for Carpet, is the most influential magazine dedicated to antique textile arts. It has been published continuously in London since 1978.
Alberto Levi has been a regular editorial contributor to Hali since the early 90s.
As an independent researcher, collector, lecturer and dealer in Milan, he always had an affinity for solving puzzles regarding attributions. On Hali’s just published issue 214 (Winter 2022) Alberto leads us to an excursion to Tibet in 1993, where he first discovered a group of ancient rugs which he identifies as originating from what he defines as the Golden Triangle, a region encompassing northeast Anatolia, the southern Caucasus and northwest Persia. This group of weavings has received considerable attention during the last few years and is already a very actively collected, independent family of antique rugs.
