"Floral and Cloudband" Carpet. Dimensions: L. 97.5 x W. 56.25 in. (247.65 x 142.87 cm). Date: 17th century.This type of carpet is characterized by a weft structure with four plies and a dense knot count, which explain the tightness and heaviness of the rug. Common Persian motifs are usually knotted in a rich palette with two to three different tones per color. Starting from the center, cloudbands, peonies, lotuses, and other flowers develop in spiral-like movements and are arranged following vertical and horizontal symmetrical axes. Contrasting ground colors--rich red and dark blue--accentuate the vibrancy of the rug and help distinguishing the border from the field. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
