In the Pari-Sima Carpet, medallion-like motifs are repeated along the length of the carpet, interwoven with arabesque branches and small blossoms. The cream ground, set among brown sections, provides a light space in which the details can be clearly appreciated, while touches of blue in the vegetal motifs soften the uniformity of the warm tones. The broad border, with its repeated flowers and leaves, maintains the balance of the composition.
\nThis carpet is a reinterpretation of a design from the Kashan school of the Safavid period. Its name derives from Pari-Sima, the weaver of the piece. Preserving the artist’s name in the presentation of all three woven versions is one of the valuable qualities of this collection.
\nIn addition to the present work, two other versions of Pari-Sima have been woven: one in wool, with a dark ground and richer colours, and another in silk, with a light ground and the distinctive delicacy and lustre of silk. The present version originates from Heriz and measures 194 \u00d7 135 cm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Pari-Sima is the name of the weaver of this carpet, preserved across all three versions of the design to keep the artist’s identity and contribution to the work recognised. The Pari-Sima Carpet, with its brown and cream ground, features symmetrical floral motifs and an intricately patterned border. The orderly arrangement of the central motifs and the presence of blue among the warm tones are distinguishing features of this woollen reinterpretation of designs from the Kashan school of the Safavid period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[467],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6397","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-carpet","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6397"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6397\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6398,"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6397\/revisions\/6398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=6397"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=6397"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bordbarcollection.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=6397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
