The Royal Crimson Garden Ghalī (Carpet)
This magnificent, high-density ghalī (carpet) is a breathtaking example of master-level Persian-style weaving, a true testament to the skill of the naghshband (designer). It is a luxurious, museum-quality piece built to create an air of profound elegance in any space.
The field is a deep, saturated Ruby Red, a color historically favored by royalty, serving as the rich canvas for an all-over, intricate floral pattern. At the heart of the design is a complex Central Medallion composed of stylized palmettes, blossoms, and swirling vines, utilizing vibrant sky blues, navy, gold, and ivory. This design is not merely decoration; it is the Eternal Garden, symbolizing everlasting beauty and abundance.
The dense floral patterning extends into the border, where repeating boteh and floral cartouches in contrasting blue and green frame the central spectacle. The sheer density of the knots and the flowing, curvilinear lines of the naqsh (design) speak to a quality and craftsmanship meant to be treasured as an heirloom for centuries. This farsh (rug) truly transforms a room into a palace chamber.
