(High-Decorative) ("New Arrivals Gallery") A refreshing and energetic piece from the peripatetic Qashqai nomads of southern Persia, this attractive rug is alive with undiminished natural color and exquisite visual energy. Offering a seldom-encountered clear ivory ground, this piece brings a modern ambiance through centuries-long traditions. The intricacies of the Herati all-over design originated in more formal city weaving workshops, then migrated to the surrounding villages and encampments over time. It was eagerly seized upon by the Qashqai weavers, becoming part of their repertoire as a vehicle to express their extremely finely knotted rugs compared to other tribal groups—geometric floral and faunal motifs in the diminutive slate blue corner spandrels amplify its overall charm. Sharply incised detail and a masterful balance between repetition and spontaneity energize the composition overall. This is most apparent in the narrow decorative bands framing the field, which attest to an age-old festive folk art aesthetic. In floor-worthy, even medium pile condition, the 5x8 dimension allows for diverse applications throughout the home.
