An Indian Safavid-Style Carpet, circa 1900 This impressive large-format Indian antique carpet measuring 12 by 20 feet, makes a commanding statement in any interior. Inspired by 16th Century Safavid designs, the deep indigo blue field provides a dramatic backdrop for a central medallion in red and ivory. The surrounding field unfolds a "garden of paradise" motif, featuring intricately detailed flowering trees, shrubs, birds, and other animals, evoking both elegance and storytelling in its composition. The main border, rendered in vibrant red, carries a repeating pattern of stylized palmettes and floral forms, while the inner and outer guard borders, with delicate geometric repeats, frame the carpet with precision. Together, these elements highlight the artistry and technical skill involved, resulting in a piece of grandeur, narrative richness, and enduring visual appeal.
