(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") With one eye toward the Caucasus mountain tribal traditions and the other gazing south to Persia, Karabaghs offer beautifully eclectic pattern languages. This tribal-leaning rug provides a visceral visual impact through a thrilling demonstration of crisp design clarity and dexterous color handling. Rectangular emblems with two vertically aligned crosses are featured in an eye-pleasing, organized repeating pattern. Each is held in a compartment formed by candy-striped lattice on a burnished bronze ground. Near the edges of the field are an assortment of spontaneously made blossom and bird motifs with their own wonderfully distinct personalities. The border suite is a succession of colorful octagons floating along an ivory background (along with additional imaginative idiosyncrasies) flanked by reciprocal crenellations in adjacent narrow bands that echo each other around the perimeter. Superb condition and bold preservation of color would make this piece a prime candidate for home display among aficionados of singular 19th-century tribal rugs.
