# A vase in the center of the carpet is fully inscribed, it represents the ancient attribute of the Sumerian goddess of water in the third millennium.
A vase from which water springs, the motif has remained until today, in oriental art, but it has lost its original meaning. A group of Persian antique carpets of the most extraordinary is that of the carpets called "with a vase".
The vase is a pretext for an overflow, a floral springing, in arabesques with volutes.
The vase associated with the tree of life, is found on the Persians of the type, Tabriz, Kashan, Macchad, but also on Turkish interpretations, in Ottoman carpets and the marvelous silks of Kashmir.
Over the centuries, the decoration has moved away from the original decoration.
The border, richly flowered, testifies, like the whole of this piece, to the mastery of the craftsman who knotted it.
The short fringes and the edges in perfect condition, renovated a few years ago, an impeccable velvet and fresh shades, offer us a carpet of great and beautiful quality of a hundred years for approximately 600,000 knots per M2.
The velvet in a magnificent state of conservation.
The revival of carpet production began with carpets that are distinguished by the superior quality of the wool giving an extremely velvety appearance. The decorations are varied and offer a meticulous invoice: hunting scenes, subjects with figures inspired by Persian mythology, birds in a plant decoration, trees of life.
Thanks to the superior quality of the wool, their tight knotting, the beauty of their natural colors and their designs, the Tehran take their place among the best and least known of Persian carpets
