A Curated Collection of Authentic 19th- and Early 20th-Century Handcrafted Rugs, Tapestries, and Textiles from Around the World Selected for Their Artistry, History, and Enduring Design.
This exquisite piece hails from the renowned village of Lavar in Southwestern Persia. This rug is a magnificent example of a "Millefleur" (a thousand flowers) floral design, also known as "Persian Gardens." The intricate and captivating pattern, featuring countless blossoms, is set against a rich and elegant dark blue field. The corners of the field are beautifully articulated with a multi-hued palette of ivory, pink, pale blue, green, and red, adding a sense of depth and visual complexity.
A stunning cream-colored central medallion with its own array of flowers in different colors serves as a radiant focal point, drawing the eye and balancing the all-over floral design. The primary border, also in a deep dark blue, is adorned with a continuous flower design that gracefully frames the central composition.
