Size(m): 1.98×1.51
This exquisite Tabriz handmade carpet, spanning 1.98 by 1.51 meters, is a masterpiece of unparalleled beauty, embodying the essence of an opulent floral dream. Crafted with an eye for the extraordinary, its lavish display of florals and feminine motifs evokes the sumptuous elegance reminiscent of the grandeur found in Louis XV's court. It channels the extravagance and refined taste of pre-revolutionary French decor, making it a jewel of craftsmanship that appeals immensely to European sensibilities.
The design is centered around a stunning medallion, encircled by a kaleidoscope of flowers in vibrant hues of blues, reds, and pinks, creating a garland-like effect that captivates the eye and the imagination. This medallion, with a drop to the north and south, forms the heart of the carpet, around which the entire narrative of the piece unfolds. The central motif is both grand and elegant, with eight satellite floral extensions in shades of grey, a testament to the designer's mastery in balancing extravagance with restraint.
The corner spandrels, each bearing a white ivory base colour in the motif against the darker greenish-grey base, offer a breathtaking contrast that draws the gaze inward, guiding the observer to the resplendent center. This intentional use of lighter shades against a predominantly grey backdrop creates a visual harmony, ensuring that the carpet's florid expressions never overwhelm but instead enchant with their intricate beauty and subtle coloring.
This carpet transcends mere decoration; it is a curvilinear canvas where the garden motifs, symbolic of paradise or heaven in Persian lore, come to life. The inclusion of various plants and animal life within its design is not just a nod to tradition but an invitation to explore a lush, verdant Eden, meticulously woven into the fabric of the carpet.
Despite its riotous celebration of flora, the carpet maintains an air of sophistication through the judicious use of grey tones, tempering the potential for an overzealous explosion of color. This balance between vibrancy and restraint is what elevates the carpet from merely beautiful to genuinely magnificent.
Owning this carpet is not just an acquisition; it is an embrace of history, art, and the perpetual beauty of spring, all captured in the warp and weft of this exceptional piece. It is an invitation to bask in the splendor of a garden paradise, meticulously crafted to bring joy and elegance into any space it graces. Purchase this carpet with confidence, knowing it represents not just a remarkable piece of artistry but a bridge between cultures, eras, and aesthetics, beautifully woven into a tapestry that speaks of opulence, tranquility, and the eternal allure of nature's bounty.
