A veritable delight of tribal weaving, this intensely animated Lesghi offers an infectiously joyous presence. Three entrancing starburst medallions share the espresso field with a scattering of pinwheel blossoms, solar discs, Endless Knots, and a constellation of esoteric devices. These are meant to imbue the rug with good fortune intended to transfer to the owner. Its broad, virtuoso palette is deeply saturated and reveals a mastery of dye brewing. Every casually symmetrical motif in the center glistens with a gentle patina that appeals to the seasoned eye, where even the smaller motifs offer crystalline clarity. Flaunting this gifted weaver’s artistic vision even further, a series of borders are rife with continual spontaneity and unrestrained creativity. This compelling rug would be prime for a connoisseur’s collection, fascinating wall art, or placed in that special space calling out for life-enriching color.
