("New Arrivals Gallery") Although seldom-found, well-preserved distinctive antique rugs woven in the Persian Azerbaijan region are perennially popular among our clientele, with diminutively sized pieces such as this little gem being especially uncommon. It contains an imaginative, spacious graphic design, including four entirely singular talisman forms in each deep vermillion corner spandrel and poignant oversized anchor pendants that lend the composition a touch of great dramatic flare. These elements are artfully employed against a reserve of precious undyed camelhair tones, from light sand abruptly shifting to caramel brown, adding great dimensionality and visual appeal. A sophisticated color palette includes scintillating hues of sky and azure blue, dusky rose, and notes of auburn, while an overall time-softened patina brings tremendous warmth.
