(Connoisseur-Caliber) (“SPRING 2018 PRINT CATALOG", p. 11)
Emotive colors, including exotic hues such as the glowing ice blue seen in this one-of-a-kind Caucasian Lesghi, are central to what makes an antique rug “art-level”. This brilliant choice of hue, with its continual subtle striations, distinguishes this tribal piece from virtually all other Lesghi rugs. Smaller totemic motifs and animal forms add a level of charm to the signature enigmatic design. Note how each border polygon is thoughtfully colored and articulated, the result of an expert weaver's honed relationship to the design as a whole that allows spontaneous inspiration.
