Twitter Facebook Pinterest(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Another weaving achievement that arose from the peripatetic Souther Persian Qashqai confederation is this phenomenal rug, which is alive with undiminished natural color and exquisite visual energy. The composition is anchored by the semi-symmetrical placement of key visual elements while creatively spontaneous asymmetry abounds. Surrounding a hypergeometric column of familiar Qashqai knotted rosette “hearth” medallions, a true cosmological extravaganza of tribal devices fills each nook and cranny from the zoomorphic to the symbolic. This apotropaic visual feast reads like the collective subconscious dream of a proud, centuries-old culture. A dextrous attention to color juxtapositions thrillingly animates every motif, with dominant bright ivory outlines creating an aura around them. Growing familiar with this complex yet welcoming piece would require many hours of delightful study. In even, medium pile condition, it is in the difficult-to-find 5x7 dimension that allows for diverse applications throughout the home.
