Here is a magnificent antique rug. an antique Bezalel rug that was woven in Israel during the early decades of the twentieth century. Featuring a clever and beautifully executed pattern of overlapping shapes, this Bezalel rug, rich with Judaica symbols, is an intriguing piece. Its soft palate and monumental size underscores its uniqueness. Framed by a relatively narrow border of a soft and beautifully faded shade of red and decorated with small floral details, the field of this carpet is certainly its dominant element. From corner to corner, the repeating pattern of medallion figures gives the carpet a rich impression of strength and solidity. The soft colors utilized throughout complement one another while also creating energy through subtle shifts in contrast.
