(High-Collectible) (“FALL/WINTER 2018-19 PRINT CATALOG", p. 22)
A compelling representative of the beloved, rare Tree of Life design, this 160-year-old exquisite Bakshaish demonstrates an artistic maturity that is sublime. A pulsating allover pattern re-invents the classic Bakshaish rows of trees ascending the field. This arboreal scene on close observation reveals a masterful feat of detailing the trees in only walnut and khaki brown tones and two outlining colors. Virtuoso waves of very significant abrash within the rare madder ground amplifies the rug's wonderful sense of artistic movement. Against a Bakshaish blue base, elemental, spontaneously drawn rosettes in the main border seamlessly cooperate with the field’s activity. Learn About This Rug Type
