Sold by James Cohen Antique Carpets

Description

A handsome carpet from the Turkoman tribe of Beshir. The depth of colour is really subtle and the technique of using different shades of blue, dark brown and black for the background creates a shimmering effect. The rich, jewel tones twinkle like stars in the firmament, with medallions in the centre and four corners like planets revolving around each other. A really good example of a rare type, in reasonably good condition. One small patch, new sides and showing light wear.
