Persian Moeiny – 2.50×1.58

Description

This magnificent carpet is delightful and shows so much of the Persian Culture to the astute purchaser. It was crafted by a  Persian master weaver Mahany who has, with justification, proudly weaved his signature onto this piece. There is much balance and harmony to this piece and its central concept is the tree of life, and tied up with that concept is the clear conviction that heaven follows life. In the midst of all of that are marvellous depictions of animal motifs together with vines containing an abundance of floral motifs.

The main border of the rug is also populated with animal motifs, and when we look into the field we see there are depictions of more animals but at the heart of it all is the tree of life – the understanding that all of this earthly beauty, regeneration and spring is also a path to heaven should we wish to take that journey.

This juxtaposition of concepts such as spring, youth, heaven and immortality is so often central to Persian carpets, and because of that, our appreciation of the artistry of a carpet truly requires  wisdom and real spirituality. Otherwise we miss the point and the mystical beauty of such art. For it is at this spiritual level that the aches and torments of our hearts can find true solace. It is here on earth that we must consider the eternal. It is at this level of understanding that this carpet’s beauty may be truly appreciated. It was hand made from persons whose understanding of the temporary nature of life and beauty was possible and enhanced by their awareness of heaven and the eternal that awaits us after death.

This carpet is one that represents joy and happiness. It is optimistic about life. In fact the depiction os stags appear clearly scattered throughout the rug. Such motifs are often seen as a symbol long life.

This carpet is sold with the highest recommendation of Peter Faeghi and may be purchased with complete confidence.
