(High-Collectible-Plus) (One of 70 "Best-of-Their-Type Rugs" Sold in 2025) This rug from the renowned southern Persian confederation amply possesses all the elements of the finest investment pieces: rarity of design, virtuoso color range, unexpected preservation at substantial age, and a timeless level of beauty. A slender stalk runs up the vertical axis adorned with moss-green palmettes and pairs of fan-like carnations and is the source of the staggering abundance on display. Distilled into a richly elegant phrasing, a rarely seen ivory field supports an abstracted allover tapestry of exceptional fineness, with each radiant botanical motif vivid and alive. A quarter of the way up, a ‘murghi’ wildfowl is about to walk the festive “tightrope," looking ahead with daring and trepidation toward their companion already safely across. Tiny cloudbands and other miniature ornaments twinkle in the background, creating additional charm and depth of field. An exquisite range of luminous colors greets the eye, from intense saffron gold to delicate peach tones, sharing space with pistachio, cornflower blue, ember red, and deep burgundy. It is a masterful achievement and obvious labor of love!
