Bezalel Israeli Rug /  Carpet  41270
6.03 x 10.03 Circa 1930 Antique Bezalel, Israel - Produced in Jerusalem between the two world wars, Bezalel pieces generally present established rug designs from various cultures, but with a distinctive Jewish or Israeli twist, and this is no exception. It displays a classic Turkoman design from Central Asia made up of columns of oval medallions or guls with cruciform secondary elements in between. But the border is full of surprises. The stars within the octagons are Stars of David, and the extra panels or elems at the top and bottom contain more of these stars alternating horizontally with menorahs. The border also contains an inscription: "Bezalel, Jerusalem."
