BIJAR CAMELHAIR
Northwest Persian

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This high-spirited, joyful antique Bijar Camelhair rug is imbued with a spectacular artistic presence. A bountiful Herati-patterned diamond medallion drifts on the glowing expanse of softly abrashed, unadorned camelhair, powerfully enhancing the illusion of the entire assemblage floating in mid-air. Its highly emotive range of colors includes potent Capri blue shifting to a radiant azure, a rich coral and carnelian, and an exceptionally saturated, difficult to render yellow ochre used with entrancing effect in the corner spandrels. Its heavier pile, exceptional glistening wool quality, and superbly robust double weft construction ensure that this over 150-year-old carpet would easily last for decades in a foyer or passageway where a glowing artistic statement is to be desired.
