SHIRVAN
3' 3" x 8' 11" (99 x 272cm) 3rd Qtr., 19th C.
(High-Collectible) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Taking expert advantage of the potential offered by its elongated dimensions, this first-class Shirvan runner is superlatively crafted with an exceedingly fine weave for its type and a captivatingly crisp clarity. Occupying the center of the field like an ornate staff is a collection of beautifully radical forms accompanied by a jubilant array of tertiary ornaments. All are ringed by small-scale rosettes on a dynamic saffron golden field. This piece exemplifies the cherished early aesthetic heritage of this beloved tribal subgroup, bringing together extraordinarily potent yet deeply harmonious color selections, whimsical abstracted flourishes, and an overall balance and cohesion that captivates the viewer. The liberal application of rare shades of Tyrian purple comes as a surprise due to its value and scarcity. It is used here, among other masterfully conceived colors, to make this right-size runner a real rarity indeed!
