This rug features a complex interplay of medallions and a repeating pattern that suggests a garden layout, common in Persian rugs, known as a 'Charbagh' or four gardens design. The central medallion is reminiscent of a quatrefoil, a motif often found in Gothic and Renaissance architecture, symbolizing symmetry and harmony. The surrounding field is a constellation of smaller geometric and floral elements in a palette of deep reds, navy blues, and contrasting ivories. The primary border is a series of intricately detailed cartouches separated by floral motifs, with the secondary borders complementing the central design through a series of reciprocal patterns. Measures 78X 58". Lost to one edge near corner measures approximately 14 X4 ". Hand knotted.
