Woven in the Bakhtiari region circa 1930, this rug divides its garden into angular compartments filled with cypress trees, flowers and birds. Upright cypresses alternate with flowering plants, giving the field a measured rhythm. Birds and stylised blossoms continue around the border, enclosing the garden in a lively frame.
