Handwoven in Persia during the late 1800s, this piece features the classic Persian Garden design, celebrated for its elegance and refined symmetry. The rug’s navy field forms a rich and dignified backdrop for an ivory central medallion, delicately woven with flowing vine motifs in green and blue. Each corner is graced with a pale blue spandrel design, enhancing the overall harmony of the composition. The ivory primary border, adorned with meandering vines and stylized floral rosettes, perfectly frames the piece with understated grace. Woven with an extremely fine weave, this rug stands out for both its craftsmanship and its nuanced palette of natural dyes. Particularly notable is the use of very rare pale green in the field, and pale blue in the spandrels, lending warmth, depth, and a subtle vibrancy that elevates the rug’s aesthetic.
