(High-Collectible-Plus) (One of 70 "Best-of-Their-Type Rugs" Sold in 2025)  This exemplary carpet exudes a palpable magic and mystique in an expansive variation of the 'Dragon and Phoenix' format -- the rarest and most archetypal of Bakshaish compositions. A precisely rendered small camelhair medallion is filled with crystalline lotus blossoms over a luxe reserve of luminous sapphire. Four minimalist ivory forms used to represent the Phoenix adorn the ordinal corners of the centerpiece, evoking its continually renewing energy. Attached are vermilion cloudbands that symbolize the Celestial Dragon as a cosmic consort caught in an eternal dance of creation and destruction. In the sand-hued field, delicate stalks that bear blossoming branches and mask-like ornaments are striking in their simplicity. Virtuosic applications of purposeful color striations, known as abrash, enliven the entire composition with depth and exquisite textures.
