4' 0" x 11' 0" Circa 1900 Price: $2,400
(High-Decorative)
Compromised of a nearly all diamond pattern, the lattice style design from this turn of the century Shahsavan Kilim produces an impressive kaleidoscopic effect throughout the field.
Four large articulated diamond shapes emerge from the mosaic background outlined by a contrasting cream color also found in the border of this scopic runner.
The entire length of the field’s background is awash in an artistic color striation known as abrash; it’s masterful application through warm hues provides a nuanced terrain that complements and supports the foreground’s imagery.
