("New Arrivals Gallery") With a seldom encountered energetic verdancy, this absolutely charming, folkloric antique room-size Heriz village carpet presents the beloved ‘Garden of Paradise’ format in a surprising range of diverse naturally derived time-softened hues. Its striking, timeless arboreal motifs are greatly enlivened in shimmering silhouette against an unusually saturated midnight indigo ground, where golden willows mingle with turquoise trees amidst a riot of spirited blooming vinery and an astonishing array of stylized blossoms. The relaxed articulation of the rosette and serrated oak leaf meander in the glowing coral main border is a perfect foil to the flourishing activity in the field. Heavier pile and an extremely robust construction ensure many decades of immense enjoyment ahead, even in areas of heavier foot traffic.
