Persian Isfahan Silk - 2.34x1.60

This is a tree of life design with pillar of wisdoms appearing either side. To appreciate the beauty of this carpet that depicts spring and rebirth does require wisdom. The carpet is a signed work and contains the words 'happiness and good health'. This is a unique rug, very well made and would suit any room. The rarity of this piece adds to its beauty, yet its attraction will be enormous to those who appreciates an extraordinary work of art and can understand the depth of meaning that the artist hoped to convey at every level. Yes this is a joyous, delightful spring rug and its attraction is timeless, because whilst spring brings with it a message of hope and rebirth, the rug reminds us that this beauty is temporary. However, that need not worry us, as clearly there is an awareness conveyed by this work of heaven and eternity and in that context the temporary joy of spring is marvellous and must be imbibed. As Omar Khayyam reminds us in his Rubyiat "drink of life's cup before the liquor in the cup be dry". We must not hesitate to enjoy the joys and beauty of life whilst we can as they will not always be there. This juxtaposition of concepts such as spring, youth, heaven and immortality is so often central to Persian carpets, and because of that our appreciation of the artistry of a carpet truly requires  wisdom and real spirituality. Otherwise we miss the point and the mystical beauty of such art. For it is at this spiritual level that the aches and torments of our hearts can find true solace. It is here on earth that we must consider the eternal. It is at this level of understanding that this carpet's beauty may be truly appreciated. The abundance of floral motifs is particularly striking as our the clear depiction of birds.  As mentioned earlier, these motifs all speak of youth, rebirth and regeneration, but centre to everything is the awareness these will end but the eternal - fellowship with the everlasting will not end.
