(High-Collectible-Plus) This out-of-this-world Bakshaish carpet perfectly captures the mind-boggling elemental creative freedom and cosmically harmonious aesthetic at the very foundation of this supremely prized and enduring folkloric art style. Floating within an open, finely striated vermilion field are a series of archaic ‘animal skin’ motifs almost exclusively found in Bakshaish Dragon rugs as a single reserve with central medallion. Their expanding and contracting fluctuations and asymmetrical placement give this surreaistic piece a living, breathing quality. Beyond the wonderful representations of animals and 'Trees of Life,’ it would be impossible to mention every fascinating symbolic ornament in the field, so you are invited to study and discover them for yourself. Equally dramatic and successful in a rustic mountain home or contemporary urban environment, this world-class Persian village carpet is a phenomenal pre-commercial time capsule housing the charismatic qualities of an irresistibly joyful naiveté. Its condition remains superb, especially considering its miraculous survival at nearly two centuries of age.
