("New Arrivals Gallery") With a profound lyricism that in Classical Persian rugs, this extraordinary late 18th-century Khorassan is a monumental collector's piece that employs a strikingly elemental design and limited palette to create an enrapturing visual effect. A verdant profusion of delicate, blossom-laden vinery spreads across the cadet blue field in shimmering metallurgic shades of bronze, platinum, brass, and electrum, contrasting with azure and carnelian. The wide alabaster ground main border hosts tumbling fan palmettes, radial flowerheads, and a vast array of smaller-scale fantasia of crocuses, carnations, and dangling florets. This carpet would be a fantastic floor covering for a sophisticated living room or dining area. This elegant piece has retained a wonderful pile condition.
