SILK FOUR SEASONS

221 x 149

For a while I did not want to include this in our Outlet collection. The original of this is an antique 100 year old masterpiece, which you can see on my main website https://www.hadimaktabi.com/carpet/218.

A superlative and superfine Isfahan with a mesmerizing rendition of the timeless theme of the Four Seasons. We see the progression from warm bottom to icy top across a stunning golden silk backdrop on which beautiful natural and floral forms shine through in shimmering silk. The crisp and soothing blue tonalities of some silk highlights are a work of wonder. The seasons are framed by an undulating Eslimi sequence of spiraling arabesques against a turquoise background. The weaver was possessed of unnatural talent and good taste. Perfect condition.
