Antique Tehran Carpet, Persia, 1920 — Ethereal beauty is reflected in this antique Tehran carpet, reminiscent of clear and fresh pools or delicate morning mists. A frosty chiffon shade blends with the surrounding hues of delicate sage and pale robin’s egg, which are further accentuated by the unique tones of yellow oyster, which brings images of luxurious pearls to mind. Flora are present throughout the design, delicately linked together with feathered fronds and twisting vines that meld into each attention-grabbing blossom. The perfectly symmetrical elements seems to spiral out from a centerpiece that lends to a many-petaled mandala. Gorgeous in any light, this refined rug is harmonized in an understated, yet still strikingly powerful, beauty.
