(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Due to their symbolic significance and great rarity, 'Tree of Life' rugs in all styles are of great interest to art rug enthusiasts, particularly more seldom found pieces from the village of Bakshaish, beloved for their imaginative interpretations of classical Persian designs. In this enchanting folk artwork, the Tree of Life is rendered with robust confidence, featuring whimsically drawn flowerheads that burst forth with great animation. The elementally graphic drawing style frees the viewer's imagination, inviting a lifetime of appreciation. Flanking the base of the tree, two lively hyacinth flowers, adorned with a halo of diamonds, symbolize regeneration, as they are among the first to flower in the spring. Adjacent are two ewers that express the importance of purity and spiritual readiness in daily life. A delicate smattering of eight-pointed Star of Wisdom inversions, rosettes, and even two cloud bands grace the remaining space in homage to this weaver's cultural heritage. Hues of scarlet, rose-coral, deeply saturated chestnut brown, and sapphire blue leap off the seldom-found camelhair background. The superb condition of this breathtaking woven 'painting' shows that it has been cherished for many generations. The great desirability of camelhair, along with the compelling theme and its significant age, makes this a weaving that certainly merits use as profound and intriguing wall art in an important space or as a delightful addition to any enthusiast's collection.
