(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") The best 19th-century Wouthwest Persian tribal rugs have become even more highly prized as their numbers have sharply diminished in the 21st century. Among this constellation of styles, antique Persian Qashqai rugs are still the most ascendant stars for their excellent craftsmanship and vigorous attention to detail. Charming murghi or wild fowl motifs appear to bow in deference to the natural world around them. Tiny sprouting boteh seed pods, flowering stalks, and elemental rosettes surround the central column of stepped diamond medallions supercharged with carnation flowerheads and the omnipresent boteh. This true extravaganza of myriad tribal devices fills each nook and cranny, elegantly composed within an effortless overall cohesion. Adept attention to color juxtapositions thrillingly animates every motif. Favoring earthen hues, allowing for cool variations of azure and mint green, its color palette pairs easily with traditional decors or adds an artistically vibrant contrast to a more contemporary space. And, its under 5x8 dimensions allow for diverse applications throughout the home. Despite some 175 years of age, this serious connoisseur's rug has been preserved in fantastic condition overall.
