SIL528 3X4 FINE PERSIAN PICTORIAL ISFAHAN RUG
CLICK TO ENLARGE


"The carpet looks very interesting compared to others we've seen before. The pictorial image shows a woman and a man. The man holds in his left hand a cup of wine which he spills and a woman holding a jug, which pours it into the mouths of two men that are lying on the floor. The sky is gray and in the background we can see the tree of life. This tree has a special symbolism in Persian carpets, he represents the direct path from earth to heaven. The border is dark blue and it fits the whole picture perfectly making the Persian rug an interesting and though provoking image for the viewer."

Isfahan Rugs
Isfahan has long been one of the most important manufacturing centers for Persian rugs. The rugs here are usually designed using an ivory background and the ornaments are symmetrical and balanced. We find in the central part of the rug a medallion that is surrounded by floral motifs and palmetto leaves. The quality of these rugs is very high and the colors used for the interior motifs are blue, brown, ivory, green and more, all of them featuring an obvious naturalness.
