This extraordinary Bakshaish explores the full artistic potential of tour-de-force abrash to produce an art carpet of exceptional potency. Heightened by free-floating, botanically inspired allover motifs of tremendous spaciousness, its emotional impact is greatly magnified by its highly coveted oversize dimensions. An extraordinary mastery of aesthetic balance and harmonious color combination, via the inclusion of continual striation of garnet, cranberry, terra-cotta, carnelian and crimson, set off brilliantly the olive, apricot and celadon accents. Ever-changing secondary motifs are a further sign of this early weaver’s great creativity. Its heavier pile condition at nearly150 years old attests to the great respect its owners have given it.
