Oriental Rug Merch
Description: This lushly decorated oversize Sultanabad is a feast of gracefully defined, ethereal, organic forms and an exquisitely serene color palette. Curling fronds, flame palmettes, and radial blossoms are orchestrated like a visual symphony where every motif has its role to play in an extraordinary composition.
Description: The field of this extraordinary rug is dominated by a single large flowering plant, probably a chrysanthemum, filling almost the entire field from the bottom to the arched top. A highly realistic effect is achieved by rendering both leaves and flowers in almost full-face position giving the weaver the possibility to represent them in great detail. Below, on either side of the main flower, appear smaller flowers, probably tulips. Interlacing leaf stems provide the transition from the field to the spandrels of the arch above.
Description: Farhad and Shirin carpets are iconic Persian pictorial rugs depicting the tragic love story from Nizami Ganjavi’s 12th-century epic, Khosrow and Shirin. These hand-woven masterpieces, often originating from Tabriz or Kashan, typically show the sculptor Farhad carrying Shirin and her horse, highlighting themes of intense devotion and romance.
