Antique Qashqhai’i, Persia, late nineteenth centuryInspired by the great classical garden carpets of Northwest Persia, this stunning antique Qashqhai’i has a highly controlled allover repeat design of stylized trees of life and weeping willows interspersed with flowering vines of varying configuration, all set against a clear ivory field. Triangular navy cornerpieces filled with ‘millefleurs’ details give the field a hexagonal shape, while various vinescroll borders with a dominant terracotta coloration combine to give the carpet an outer frame. The color sensibility of this piece is extraordinary, in every way the equal of the classic Persian masterpieces from which it is descended.
