(High-Collectible) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This exceptionally rare standout Bakshaish carpet is an elemental masterpiece. Its creation was supported by a culture that valued spontaneous artistic gestures, and this iteration has a substantial amount of those. A wonderfully graphic medallion finds two aqueous ancient 'ashik’ emblems among flowering stalks, enclosed by a midnight indigo stepped diamond vividly against an ivory background. Dextrous shifts in scale between designs heighten the viewer’s aesthetic experience, while frustrating any trace of tedium. The luminous azure corner spandrels host a beguiling collection of wonderfully eccentric floral geometry, gently animated by expert casual drawing. Infused with painterly gradations of evocative abrash, the richly dyed color palette has mellowed over time as intended, heightening every hue to its maximum potential. We have never seen their most favored traditional oak leaf and flowerhead border design presented in this way, with its absolutely reductive geometry or with such virtuoso variations between the vertical and horizontal designs.
