Size(m): 2.11×1.47
This is Most Extraordinary Persian Tabriz Superfine Wool Carpet, measuring 2.11 by 1.47 centimetres. The extraordinary beauty of this carpet is possible because of the genius of the designer, who has been able to combine the most marvellous gentle soft colours, ranging from pastel light blues through to a range of blues, lavender, and ivory eggshell soft gentle sweet summer and spring greens together with a darker colour that appears in the centre of the central motif.
The carpet itself is proudly from the city of Tabriz, renowned for producing some of the most extraordinarily beautiful carpets in the world, and the carpet has in its cartouche that appears at the bottom of it the words in Farsi, ‘Iran and Tabriz’.
The beauty of the gentle blending of colours is an exercise worth investigating. If we look at it from the outside moving in, we see a gentle soft colour that almost becomes indescribably green but contrasts so well then with a darker lavender colour and becomes contained in the inner guard border which has beautiful rose climbing plants. As we move from there, our gaze goes automatically to the central medallion which has at its centre an ocular shape. Yes, it is a human eye that we must be looking at and there's a gentle sweet blue pupil to it which looks almost as if it is the start of everything, the Big Bang itself, and it's contained in an outward expanse. First there's a gentle pink and then there's a darker colour, almost a rock red colour, and then once again a gentle pastel blue. We then go to greens and then to a darker blue, then to a band which contains as a base colour a light greyish blue with motifs that are a darker red. From there we move into another band of colours and motifs.
The juxtaposition of these colours and motifs is the work of a genius.
The central medallion, as mentioned earlier, has an ocular shape, a central motif to it which expands out. The shape then changes to a curvilinear six-sided figure. There are two drops, one north and one south. The base colour is a beautiful eggshell ivory colour and on this colour which is the foundation a most wonderful spread or arrangement of motifs that are floral in nature. The carpet has one of the most wonderful combinations of complexity and simplicity. I say simplicity because of the genius of the designer.
When looking at this there is a conviction that one has of not only the complexity of the designs and motifs but how well balanced they all are and integrated and this is the extraordinary achievement. There is a sense of peace and relaxation here.
Whilst we have an explosion of spring and a marvellous combination of colours, it is as if the divine is guiding it. The Big Bang itself, the start of all the universe spreading out and all of creation is encapsulated conceptually in this particular carpet in that we have with the complexity and the diversity of life the simple fact that this is spring and it is a season and it will change.
