Of avid interest to connoisseurs, this singular room size Persian Bakshaish antique carpet offers much-loved traditional motifs with a surprising palette of warm, time-softened natural colors. In this rarely encountered piece, undyed, dark brown sheep's wool is an unique base to the field's compelling all-over pattern, where golden botehs ("Seed of Life" motifs) shimmer in mesmerizing detail. Equally resonant hues of carnelian and sky blue fill ample borders, intensifying the robust appeal of this sought-after antique art rug preserved in exceptional condition.
