It is composed of precious silks and silk threads with gold bath that decorate some central details and it distinguishes a high finesse in fact has a knotting of over 2,000,000 knots per square meters worthy of the most precious oriental textile works. Its prestige is the result of many factors such as the extreme finesse, the fine materials, the excellent finishes and the attention to detail that make it a carpet worthy of a prestigious collection and capable of acquiring ever greater value over the decades. The chosen subject is purely floral: superbly realized are the flowers of the central part and really refined are the decorations that surround them; very complex is then the rose window from which denotes the experience and the remarkable ability of the Atelier producer. As in all their textile works, the depictions inside were chosen for precise reasons -an example is the presence of the blue rose of paradise, an image particularly relevant because, when in May the roses bloom sing the nightingales, who in Persian poetry tirelessly declare their love for the queen of flowers and this theme is often found in Islamic lyrics with a dual value of terrestrial and heavenly love. Last but not least, there are many side borders that “frame” it and are placed to protect the work and its symbolic meanings. The signature of the important Atelier of origin has been knotted among the precious gold decorations on a dark background and precisely inside an oval cartouche located in one of the corners. The dimensions of Mt. 0.69 x 0.76 therefore this precious and beautiful work of art can be placed not only on the ground but also hung as a wall work according to the most current trends, which, moreover, reflects an ancient custom that wanted the carpets hung on the wall.
