(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") One of the most enchanting and coveted shades of 19th-century Bakshaish rugs is the vibrant sky and cerulean blues seen here, forming a ground for a constellation of rosettes in a range of dimensional scales. Abrashed strokes of lighter blues imply the sky and the passage of time, while adding visual depth. The unadorned ivory hexagonal reserve supports a central medallion with pendants drawn with elemental simplicity. The concentric hexagonal cascade within the overall composition is mesmerizing. The main border of interlocked hexagons containing Diamonds of Strength echoes the central theme and is flanked by Running Water minor borders, the very essence of life. Bakshaish mat sizes are much admired by connoisseurs for their highly original, emotive designs rendered in diminutive sizes. This visually striking folk art in the mat size, very rarely seen in Bakshaish rugs, would make a precious addition to a room setting or private collection, or could even be displayed as wall art for a lifetime of contemplation.
