The decoration of this room takes up traditional colors and floral motifs that appear in 16th and 17th century carpets and in mosques, on ancient ceramics from the Safavid period.
One easily recognizes in the interlacing palms, lotus flowers, almond blossoms often tied on these carpets.
The border is very sophisticated, so much the arrangement of the interlacing of palms, blue and burgundy mingles alternately with lotus flowers.
The interior and exterior braids are adorned with small carnation flowers, motifs used in Persia (Iran) and Turkey, symbolizing the work and profession of the knotters The design of the central medallion, fitted, is specific to these carpets with elegant extensions in small pendants, in design of pendants, and the patterns of the angles testify to a great research.
