阿塞拜疆西北部驼毛古董波斯地毯

Northwest Persian rugs woven in small tribal encampments are famed for their earthy, geometric themes that are so compatible with modern architecture and many other interior decors. This is undoubtedly the case with this endearing, highly versatile piece. The mesmerizing, elemental quality of its pattern and the soothing character of its colors are impactful and effortlessly charming. Its center holds a jewel-shaped ivory medallion with abstract blossoming fronds. Egyptian blue tracery, reminiscent of pathways on a circuit board, occupies the surrounding area. Corner spandrels house more cubist flowerheads overseen by long-tailed birds. Its camelhair reserve and wide border margins are delicately striated with a spectrum of natural tones and serve to amplify the adjacent organically brewed hues. The superb borders are prescient of modernists such as Mondrian and Kandinsky, artfully shifting shades from one stylized motif to another. This wonderfully graphic area-sized gem retains an even, medium pile condition and is destined to dazzle on the floor or as an irresistibly intriguing wall hanging.
