Antique Bezalel Rug #41553
Antique Bezalel, Israel, early 20th century The Bezalel workshop,
active in the Holy Land in the earlier 20th century, was famous for its
reinterpretations of classic rug designs. This beautiful little example
adapts colorful field and border designs from Caucasian and Eastern
Turkish rugs in a subtle homage to Jewish tradition. Upon closer
inspection, small stars of David appear all across the border, in the
outer edge of the field, and on a larger scale as the main medallions
at the center. Menorahs appear as well in the corners of the star
medallions, between them on the red ground, and one last time in the
cornerpieces.
