On the Design:

Each piece in this collection is a unique reimagining of traditional designs and antique rugs in one of the most luxurious new qualities and high knot counts available today. This particular rug—entitled “Shekargah”—features a vibrant turquoise blue field underscoring dense pictorials including leopards, deer, wild boars, rabbits, eagles, and hunters on horses aiming at prey amidst swirls of floral detailing. These pictorials remain true to the Persian title, “Shekargah” (which translates to hunting ground) and appear predominantly in beige-brown, red, and gold tones. Admirers of the craft will particularly appreciate the movement in this piece, both in the fabulous, dramatic nature of the figural scenes and the subtle way they almost spiral toward the center of the piece—a beautifully unexpected approach to a traditional design. The brilliant sheen of silk offers even more depth and movement to the intricate, lively design, which sits beautifully in any lighting with a luxurious, elegant demeanor. This grand rug denotes the modish aesthetics of one of the most bold and intricate creations from any atelier in the world today. See less
