(Decorative) A compelling, highly original all-over pattern drawn with exceptional subtlety is at the heart of this entrancing Persian village rug. A spacious panoply of iconic blossoms is linked by simplified, almost minimalist latticework in an evocative shade of azure blue. Rhythmic waves of terracotta, salmon and rose provide tremendous animation and a significant sense of dimensionality, adding another rich layer of visual interest for the viewer to explore. A delicate, almost naive border treatment is another surprise to be discovered in this artful, yet extremely durable piece.
