Origin: Persia
Date: Third quarter of the 20th century
Dimensions: 205 × 133 cm
Description:
This elegant Keshan rug unfurls a blooming garden from the mouth of a central vase, its red field brimming with finely drawn flowers and scrolling arabesques. Amidst the floral abundance, birds perch and flutter, gazelles leap in motion, and tigers and lions roam—some in pursuit, others at rest. The dynamic interplay of predator and prey weaves a poetic narrative of beauty and survival, framed by a deep blue border of floral rosettes and vines. It is both ornamental and allegorical, a testament to Keshan’s mastery of classical Persian design.
