Material: Silk
Reference: PE-100-001156
This is a handmade Qum silk carpet. It's 1.15 meters by 0.77 meters. It is an extraordinary work of art. Whilst it's modest in size, it would be a wonderful accent piece in any room requiring a statement of combination of beauty and utility. Being made of silk, it has enormous advantages. Namely, it is hard-wearing. It also holds the colors incredibly well and it allows for a high definition with regard to the depiction of motifs and patterns. That is the advantage of a high knot count.
The carpet itself has a central medallion which is somewhat darker than the other colors in the field of the carpet but is the same color as the bands on the outer and the inner guard borders.
The main guard borders are a beautiful combination of shades of color and throughout the carpet are motifs representing spring and an abundance of life. In the corner of the field of the carpet are a spray of flowers. They look beautiful accent points. The carpet has a sense of peace and tranquility to it. There is an order in relation to the rebirth and recreation of life that spring represents.
There is a sense in this carpet that things are not happening by chance but that they are regulated and that the fragility of life is overseen by forces that are in themselves invisible to us.
Flowers are pervasive symbols of natural beauty, growth, and rebirth. Each flower may carry its own symbolic meaning, contributing to the overall narrative of the carpet.
In summary, the described elements in this Persian carpet design intertwine to convey a rich cultural tapestry. The rosette-shaped central medallion, vibrant yellow gold base, fine lattice of vines, symmetry, and abundant flowers collectively tell a story of unity, prosperity, nature's harmony, and the cyclical beauty of life. Each motif and color is carefully chosen, reflecting not only artistic mastery but also a deep connection to Persian cultural values and traditions.
The impact of this carpet is elegantly simple yet profoundly beautiful, promising a sense of regeneration and growth that resonates throughout any space fortunate enough to host this masterpiece of design.
This carpet would look extraordinary in any place requiring such amazing beauty. It will be appreciated by its owner and by generations to come.
