Twitter Instagram Facebook Pinterest(High-Collectible) ("Best-of-its-Type Sold in 2020”) Each Persian weaving region had its own interpretation of the "Vase" design that presents a phantasmagorical tree springing from a large urn at the base of the field. In 19th-century Ferahan Sarouks, a particularly dazzling overscale patterning of the vase theme was occasionally employed. This extraordinarily finely crafted rug is a deeply inspired example of the palpable sense of fecundity that was achieved in the very best renditions. Here, a potent red-barked tree ascends from an ornately detailed vase, its branches supporting a vast hierarchy of differing flowerheads. The architectural feature of an intense cerulean blue archway supported on exceedingly slender pillars lends a note of materiality to this art rug’s beatific vision, which is expressed in a profound palette of saturated colors.
