1. Profoundly Harmonious Color of 19th-century Bakshaish Inspires the Modern Decor Choices in this Casual Seating Area
Thanks to the timeless immediacy of its evocative natural colors and engagingly abstracted botanical imagery, this superb antique Bakshaish carpet enhances the fluid contours and direct, clearly expressed forms of this contemporary space. The spacious arrangement of motifs and unassuming balance that are a specialty of this 19th-century village weaving group evokes the comfortable, casual atmosphere this homeowner intended to create with his furnishings and accessories. Warm mocha, soft periwinkle, cobalt are the time-softened tones in the rug that resonate instantly with the abstract canvas in the room, revealing a shared affinity for dynamic color juxtaposition. Note how the astoundingly animated, yet subtle intentional abrash striation within the carpet amplifies the nuances of wood grain in the Eames armchair, sideboard and flooring, enhancing their visual interest and reinforcing the sense of organic movement and texture in a way that profoundly immerses the viewer.

3. Modern Home Design Attains Incredible Impact Through The Uniquely Collaborative Energy of Antique Area Rugs
Contemporary design and art-level Caucasian and Persian geometric rugs share an affinity that is dramatically expressed in passageways, where the strikingly potent color of multiple rugs and their earthy ambiance are more unmistakable viewed in concert. Here, the lofty white walls and blonde hardwoods provide “less is better” aesthetic that quietly emphasizes the electric exuberance of the rugs. The Karaja in the foreground fully explores mint and emerald green in its potent, unaffected design, while the Bijar in background showcases the impressive versatility of multi-medallion 19th-century pieces for hallway display. When combined with virtuoso art in other media, the effect is transformative: this collector’s exceptional John Bracken collages have been especially chosen to hang above these weavings. Though entirely different in material and era, an equally evocative Simon Gaiger sculpture in steel shares an easy, enrapturing affinity with the rugs that surround it.
