This is among the earliest, most masterful rugs of this largely unseen Caucasian sub- style that we have experienced, offering a fluidity of expression and a maverick border treatment that indicate an early provenance. Caucasian “Bird” Shirvan, at right 3' 8" x 5' | circa 1850 High-Collectible

A supremely accomplished, profoundly improvisational nomadic rug, this 180-year- old piece offers a window into a weaving milieu at least a half-century before the first hints of commercialism. Persian Northwest Azerbaijan, at left | 4' 8" x 5' 5" 2nd quarter, 19th century High-Collectible

This virtuoso, large room-size demonstrates this prized style’s artistry at its most visionary. Its majestic, floating medallion and deconstructed flowerheads reflect the singular Bakshaish penchant for playful asymmetry and idiosyncratic expression. Persian Bakshaish | 10' 5" x 13' 9" | 3rd quarter, 19th century, High-Collectible
