(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This alluring Bakshaish ‘Tree of Life’ Camelhair carpet stands among the top-tier of one of the most sought-after styles. Originating in an ancient folk art tradition, its balanced yet spontaneous pattern and exquisite, restrained coloration reveal a profound sophistication and artistic sensitivity found only in carpets woven well before the advent of commercialism. Stylized flowering shrubs alternate between thick branches and slender stalks to fill compartments created by a latticework of mocha-hued garlands on a parchment-hued ground. Each motif is drawn in masterful freeform with continual slight nuances of shape, giving rise to a gentle animation. The use of color is masterfully controlled yet expressive, advancing the uplifting theme of the earth’s abundance. In the border, a luminous blast of ‘Bakshaish Blue’ graces wonderfully oversized abstract flowerheads flanked by floating oak leaves to brilliantly balance the enchanting inner workings of the field. Incredibly finely crafted, this connoisseur's piece remains in superb pile condition and would enliven almost any space.
