(High-Collectible-Plus) ("The California Collection") Another Bakshaish treasure has been uncovered from a generations-deep trove. This uniquely envisioned camelhair carpet presents a charming visage of a floating forest of expressive shrubs seemingly on the move across a field of mocha-toned ground. There is enough regularity throughout the rug to fool the dismissive observer. However, living with it would offer daily observations of spontaneity as, in actuality, every element is hand-drawn and has a fluid, individual character. The fine gradations of hue in the field lend an immense emotive texture and magnetic visual depth. A series of five borders convey a wonderful sense of movement with expertly dyed colors, intensifying the cohesive success of its pattern language. This dexterous expression of folk art magic is amplified by its small room-size dimensions, often sought after by those who want the entirety of the rug to be expressed in a furnished room. Extremely good even pile condition means this 19th-century artwork offers great utility around the home, effortlessly playing a starring role in 21st-century interiors.
