Persian Isfahan Area Rug, Persia, Contemporary – The legendary Tree of Life is a much-imagined subject featured in art, fairy tales and many literary works. This spectacular rug from Isfahan features an allegorical interpretation of the Tree of Life emerging from magical blue waters that morph into a majestic tree with birds in its branches. Deer, birds, hares and other animals populate the lush forest scene, which is rendered in a palette of exceptionally rich and varied colors. Colorful blossoms with carefully shaded petals decorate the tawny brown guard-bands while tropical birds and colorful parrots set amid a background of elegant vine-scrolls decorate the lush camel brown main borders. Flame-like clouds and colorful cranes add an eastern influence to this elegant sylvan rug from Isfahan.
