Hand-knotted Persian rug

This handwoven Persian rug features a classic design associated with urban weaving centers such as Kashan and Tabriz. It boasts a traditional central medallion, known as a "chessboard," surrounded by intricate, curved floral motifs, including Arabic script, palm fronds, and grapevines. This design, inspired by mosque domes and book covers, is a hallmark of traditional Persian art.
