(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Among Afshar rugs woven in the tribal village of Niriz, famed for their extraordinarily fine knotting and near-pinpoint design work, this striking star uniquely blends luxuriance with an infinitely appealing folk-art vitality. A beguiling diamond lattice pattern occupies the field in shades of cobalt blue, ivory, burnished bronze, and burnt sienna. Each stepped compartment contains ultra-geometricized botanical elements and cloudband devices. Reciprocal crenellations in the primary border create a formidable ‘Fence of Security’ paralleled by numerous minor bands. Luminous wool and the deeply saturated palette of colors traditional to South Persian rug weaving contribute to the profound presence of this spirited South Persian weaving. Fantastically preserved dazzle-patterned kilim ends offer a thrilling and seldom-seen bonus for this accessible artwork, which remains in superb condition, with heavier overall pile.
