Garden Carpet
This ‘Garden Carpet’ woven in Afghanistan is a fine rendering of the great Safavid carpet tradition.
A similar example, which may have been the inspiration for the weavers of ours, can be seen in the Metropolitan Museum, NY (see images) was woven around 1800.
The earliest Persian garden carpets date from the seventeenth century. Ours has the classical "Four Gardens" (Chahar Bagh). The example in the Met is longer with two repeats of the garden plan. It shows a wide central stream of water intersected by narrower courses, all of them enlivened by fish. The units separated by the streams represent ornamental pools or flowerbeds, and the composition as a whole abounds with flowering plants, shrubs, and trees.
