(High-Collectible) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This marvelously inventive Bakshaish Camelhair carpet carries a full complement of prized collector qualities: exceptionally nuanced camelhair tones, strikingly archetypal tribal motifs, and daring spontaneity. Exquisite balance and spaciousness are achieved with the hexagonal “island” mediallion populated by jewel-like boteh (symbolic Seeds of Life) in six color combinations. Enigmatic stork-like birds float on a sea of rippled vermillion, their companions waiting in orderly rows in the corner spandrels amidst improvised pinwheel blossoms and mysterious dark walnut zig-zags. A particularly archaic version of the Bakshaish rosette and oak leaf border is playfully stamped on an antique ivory ground. This entirely one-of-a-kind folk art masterpiece impresses with its charming naivety coupled with erudition acquired over the generations and the fine patina of age creating a shimmering surface.
