Persian Isfahan Rug, Persia, Contemporary – Woven in Isfahan, a city known for its master weavers, this spectacular Persian rug features a classic garden scene composed with a unique viewpoint, as if one were looking out onto a lush courtyard garden with blossoming trees, buildings, lush plants and animated caricatures drawn with careful outlines. Facial expressions, draped clothing, patterned overcoats, billowing clouds, carefully drawn elements and minute details like the tiled dome in the background add to the compelling visual style and allegorical quality that this pictorial rug possesses. Ornate guard-bands decorated with superfluous vine-scrolls and main borders featuring a classic animal combat pattern set among lush vine-scrolls provide an elegant frame for this masterfully rendered Persian rug, which is truly a work of art.
