("New Arrivals Gallery") A design of astonishing complexity and dazzling precision brings uncommon distinction to this deeply memorable, finely crafted masterwork from the early Ferahan tradition. It offers a peerless level of refinement while simultaneously expressing potent color juxtapositions, exuberant exploration of botanically inspired imagery, and intense visual drama that have made the best antique village pieces justly celebrated. Set within an elongated reserve that is completely unadorned but for the subtle abrash striation of a luminous parchment ground, a virtuoso medallion occupies nearly the full length of a central vertical axis. The medallion is kaleidoscopic, divided into distinct, measured facets rendered with perfect symmetry.

At nearly two centuries old, it has been lovingly maintained in good pile condition.,-old
