Persian Rug 6306 - Yazd Persian Rug from Persian Carpet Collection
This Persian rug is in the categories of Persian Rug (Persian Carpet), Yazd Persian Rug (Yazd Persian Carpet) and Antique Persian Rug (Antique Persian Carpet), and it has been introduced and provided by Persian Carpet Collection.
An exquisitely regal showpiece as either wall art or on the floor, this painterly exemplar of the cherished YAZD weaving group exhibits a consummate refinement and compositional mastery. Like an ornate honey-gold courtyard fountain viewed from the air, glittering shades of cornflower spill from the Rococo medallion into meandering waterways that irrigate a profusion of crystalline garden blooms across a luxuriant garnet toned reserve. Obviously woven by a woman with a profound mastery of color, its primary border of lyrically drawn lotus and peony flowers are swathed in continually color-changing braided vinery, in rich shades of blue from a deep royal to rich cerulean, highlighted by olive, peach hues, and sparingly used pear green. Exceptionally fine of weave with heavier pile, this astonishingly well-preserved rug is illumined by the lanolin-rich lamb’s wool so essential to achieve the greatest heights of Persian weaving.
