(Retirement) Gift from Mr. Benardout of the Anglo-Persian Carpet Co., South Kensington "Part of a carpet, Caucasian (Kuba, Lesghi?), 19th c." "I write to thank you most cordially for your kindness in allowing the Museum to select from your stock such carpet fragments as will be useful for teaching purposes and for showing designs so far unrepresented in our collection". cf: Bennett (1981) illus. 433; "Lesghistan. Probably late 19th c." and illus 435 "... unusually long and narrow... it resembles closely certain rugs from Baku...second half of the 19th c."
