(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This extraordinarily animated example from the Shekarlu sub-tribe of the Qashqai Confederacy offers a pattern language distinctive to this small and now extinct weaving group. Recognizable for the signature ivory slanted combs throughout the otherwise constantly changing collection of favored motifs that make up the field pattern, this rug epitomizes the tribal weaving tradition's incredible outpouring of creativity. Every element seems meant to surprise the viewer, prompting many hours of fun discoveries. Their wide range of scale offers the illusion of advancing to the forefront and receding into the background. The jubilant spectrum of jewel-toned colors inthis far-out tribal rug is dazzling, and the successful juxtapositions these tonalities allow are nonstop. Joyful bands of daisy florets join a glittering assortment of latch-hooked octagonal rosettes in the border. Its condition at over 130 years of age is prime with heavier pile.
