(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This endearing South Persian tribal rug telegraphs the spirited, nature-based, effervescent approach to life from this 19th-century nomadic confederation. Five glowing carnelian cypress trees anchor the tableau, an arboreal structure celebrating the evergreen’s consistent presence throughout the lands where the weavers live and harkens to eternity. A sixth is found truncated at the top of the field, alluding to the pattern as a vivified setting in motion. Each is connected by an artistically abstract root system that also gives rise to myriad bounteous blossoms, serrated leaves, and tiny boteh seeds. Also tucked within the interstitial spaces are small-scale, spontaneously placed elemental animal forms. Every motif is a reflection of what the Afshari people experienced in their daily lives. The artistic overtone of this rug is both wholly engaging and, simultaneously, mysterious, its symbolism cohesive in a way that can be felt rather than intellectualized. Dynamic, naturally dyed colors and superb condition at over a century and a half of age are additional winning attributes.
