("New Arrivals Gallery")Infused with stirring, extremely subtle gradations of evocative abrash, this exciting open field Bakshaish reveals the full artistic splendor of its nearly 150-year-old heritage. Except for a simple, crisply drawn medallion, the deliberately unadorned field focuses the attention on its watercolor-like striations of myriad soft carnelian tonalities produced by that skillful natural dyeing. The undulations of cerulean blue in the reserve also adds depth overall creating a riveting three dimensional effect. Framing this impactful field, the main border of this minimalist room-size carpet contains a repeated totemic sun motif that effectively continues the rug’s elemental ambiance. From the highly regarded Bakshaish weaving style, this creative piece happily remains in extremely good condition.
