Shekari 7.8 x 5.8 Wool Rug – Persian Hunting Garden Scene in Mist Grey & Jewel Tones

Origin

Hand-woven in the famous Northern Afghanistan workshops, this Shekari carpet bears the art of the master weavers and supports the Persian tradition of the hunting garden. It features the storytelling compositions inspired by the Safavid-era court carpets; its masterpiece of elegance and symbolism makes it an ideal piece of the authentic heritage textile, one that has the timeless decorative value to collectors.

Materials

Designed in 100 percent hand-spun Ghazni wool, dyed in natural pigments of indigo, madder root, pomegranate rind, and walnut husk. The botanical colors yield beautiful, harmonious shades that do not fade and are non-hazardous. Its shimmering, close-knit head promises not only to be pillowy soft to the touch, but to stand the test of time and last through generations without dirtying its natural beauty.

Design

In the background, a calm mist-grey setting supports a colorful group that includes peacocks, gazelles, songbirds, and flowering trees. The scene is accented with jewel colors of emeralds, rubies, and gold, and festooned with bridal-like flower and vine images everywhere. The harmonious design is luxurious as well as soothing; it is suitable either in a traditional or a modern setting.

Craftsmanship

The knot density is fine, and with it, every figure and floral detail is crisply and expressively rendered. They are hand finished with fringes and reinforced selvedges, which make them more durable. The middle-sized model will be perfectly happy in a home, office, or reception area and provide a practical floor coverage that is also sufficiently a work of art to become an heirloom.

Heritage

One of the symbols of the Shekari hunting garden design is the abundance, vitality, and harmony of nature. It was originally a royal motif in the courts of Persia; here, Afghani artisans reinvent it and carry through centuries of textile tradition. Each motif has a story to tell; therefore, it is an experiential piece of historical preservation and craftsmanship.

A timeless Persian hunting garden brought to life in Shekari’s masterful hand-knotting.
