This week on hali.com, we remember Werner Brändl, HALI’s longest-serving advertiser and one of Germany’s last antique carpet dealers.
We also share a new feature from HALI 229, exploring how Kashmiri shawls transformed global fashion. Ahead of Austria Auction Company’s Masterpieces V sale, we previewed some of the standout lots, including a silk Yarkand saf, an iconic Tekke bird asmalyk and an unusual South Caucasian carpet.
Our Editor’s Choice this week is a Tibetan tiger rug from the Rudi Molacek Collection, in which a pelt dissolves into near-abstraction, while a meditation seat embodies fearlessness and spiritual protection.
