Dimensions: 2.5 x 1.5 meters | Age: About 150 years This carpet is an exquisite and original example of classic Persian carpets with a bergamot pattern (central medallion) designed in the style of a Persian garden. Its main background is a combination of golden-cream colors in the middle section and deep blue-green in the upper and lower sections. The colors are obtained from natural materials and after about a century and a half, they still maintain their depth and harmony. The wide, multi-layered border provides a powerful frame to the entire composition and conveys a sense of order and perfection. The overall structure of the carpet design has a symmetrical and classical composition: a large central bergamot (medallion) that is the visual heart of the work. A two-part background (gold in the center and blue at the top and bottom) that creates a sense of depth and layering. Lachaks (decorative squares) that complete the background space with floral motifs. A wide main border with two narrower protective borders. This structure follows the old tradition of urban carpets in Iran (such as Isfahan, Tabriz or Kerman) and reflects the concept of an “enclosed garden” or Iranian campus. Full explanation of motifs and symbols 1. Central bergamot (large medallion) The bergamot is located in the center of the carpet in the form of a multi-petaled and complex flower. Multiple layers of Shah Abbasid flowers, Islamic leaves and swirling motifs surround it. Symbol: The sun, the universe, the center of the universe and perfection. In Iranian art, the bergamot is often a symbol of the garden of paradise or the point of connection between earth and sky. The red, blue and cream colors in it convey a sense of life and energy. 2. Floral and plant motifs (Islamic, Khatai and Shah Abbasi) Large Shah Abbasi flowers and multi-petal flowers are scattered throughout the field and border. Twisting branches and vines that move symmetrically from the bergamot to the corners. Small bushes and vase-like objects in the blue sections. Symbol: The Persian garden, fertility, immortality and the promised paradise. These motifs are reminiscent of the gardens of Pardis, which in Iranian culture symbolize divine order and eternal beauty. The twisting movement of the branches inspires a sense of the flow of life and continuous growth. 3. Latches (decorative squares) At the four corners of the field, dense and symmetrical floral motifs are placed, often designed in a triangular or angular form. Symbol: Protection of the center and completion of the sacred geometry of the carpet. Latches act like guardians of the garden, establishing visual balance. 4. Main border and protective borders The wide outer border is filled with repeating flowers, slender leaves and scrollwork. The narrower inner borders with toothed patterns and smaller flowers play a separating role. Symbol: Sacred boundary, protection and cosmic order. The border in a Persian carpet acts like a garden wall, separating the inner world (heaven) from the outer world. The regular repetition of the border motifs creates a sense of infinity and continuity. 5. Color division of the field The golden-cream middle section and the blue-green upper and lower sections create a beautiful contrast.
