This antique rug depicts a fine series of uncommon design patterns in unique, complementary colorways. Hand-knotted in high-quality material, the rippling field design employ pairs of highly stylized mirrored pattern, representing flame and the universe. Framed within mirrored inner and guard borders, the middle border is tactfully distinct from the rest with sweeping iris palmette patterns symbolizing rebirth and rejuvenation, adding to the naturalist, immortal themes of the piece.
