Featured Antique Rug of the Day⠀ A breathtaking antique Southwest Arab Khamseh Rug 4' 9" x 5' 9" — Circa 1850. (High-Collectible) Eminently high-collectible jewel from the Arab sub-tribe of the South Persian Khamseh Confederation expresses an unreserved animation of its single weaver-dyer, brilliantly executing the difficult large medallion format of her tribe's signature design. A balanced, yet organically drawn lobed medallion is bursting with resplendent, overscale blossoms. No less compelling is the spacious, abashed main border. with a fancifully rendered “fence” pattern. What seems to be a riot of color is actually a precisely measured and combined palette of earthy tonalities and radiant blues, illumined by a superior grade of lustrous wool. In exceptional condition at well over one and one-half centuries of age, this intensely personal 19th-century antique rug exemplifies the very best artistry and craftsmanship from this tradition.
