(High-Collectible) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Newcomers and experienced clients come to us to find antique rugs of unforgettable artistic impact and decorative appeal. The best Bakshaish carpets, such as this deceptively elemental piece, offer an energetic, entirely unaffected composition. Here a field of “dancing” boteh ("Seed of Life" motifs) and a sparsely decorated undyed camel’s hair border reflect an unfettered inspiration highly prized by collectors. Softly sweeping color swashes of “abrash” (purposeful color shits) throughout the field create quiet undercurrents supporting a naïve pattern of undulating boteh rows. Superb condition increases the allure of this nearly 150-year-old art-level Persian rug.
