We have handled a series of antique Tehrans with “Garden of Paradise” themes over the decades, however this is among the most unique and intriguing in its subject matter and dazzling in its palette. Beyond the blooming smorgasbord of glowing flora, an entirely magical world of flourishing fauna intersects with the human built environment at the foot of the rug's field. Beneath willowy fronds, a lion turns its head toward an observant stag taking flight, perhaps aided in its escape by a glorious azure vase blocking the predator’s view. Across the stream that courses the scene, a technicolor town can be seen in the distance. Spontaneously placed fish can be seen swimming against the current on the left bank. Above, a quiet peacock is nestled between branches, observed by curious birds among mottled boughs on the right. Interestingly, two floating cartouches spotlight miniature tableaus of a crouched deer facing a farmstead. The borders are particularly exotic, depicting a wide variety of structures flanking a lively forest scene of diversely blossoming trees. There is so much more to unpack that the lucky owner of this heavy-piled woven gem can spend a lifetime discovering its contents.
