("New Arrivals Gallery") A stunning tribal rug offering many of the renowned attributes that make Caucasian pieces so beloved, this handsome Shirvan exudes an allure that is infectious. A series of faceted hexagonal medallions bookended by serrated crimson palmettes are the backbone of a charming composition. Don’t miss three charming pairs of surrealistic quadrupeds among the red poppy flowerheads and ethereal rosettes in the shimmering indigo field. Their appearance is meant to contribute a note of whimsy amid the cosmic forces of nature conveyed in this spacious design, in a juxtaposition of viewpoints. Its deeply saturated palette is made more captivating by the inherent glow from the lanolin rich silky mountain wool. A beautifully woven “dragon” border on a golden saffron ground add continual visual interest. Heavy pile ensures its longevity for decades.
