("New Arrivals Gallery")Expressing a deep folkloric charm that is unique to antique Bakshaish rugs, this narrow area rug is brimming with spontaneity, while great artistic control hides among its elemental ornamentation. At first glance, the vertical axis of four uniquely shaped, whimsical diamonds steal the show, offering humor and winsome color choices, both striking and skillfully balancing to the piece’s visage. Emotive color striation is throughout, in the natural camel hair tones, within the diamonds and along the two borders. Pairs of miniature diamonds float in place, like siblings of the larger motifs. The pattern of the main border is a veritable riot of creativity! The perfect shape for the side of a bed makes it easy to imagine seeing lively gem first thing every morning.
