$3,840. A blush pink field carries floral arabesques about a soft mint green medallion, bounded by a sage green border of matching ornament and finished with white fringe. Pastel grounds of this kind are technically demanding, since pale dye lots show every inconsistency in the yarn and leave the weaver no margin for a mismatched batch; the palette became a Tabriz speciality in the twentieth century precisely because the city's dyers could hold a tone reliably across a full carpet. The arabesque, an endlessly bifurcating vine that never quite closes on itself, is the most philosophically loaded motif in Islamic art. An accommodating piece for a powder room, an entry or a bedside. Design pattern: Central medallion with floral arabesque field, Tabriz. Size: 2'5" x 4'2". Gallery Collection.
