Description
This hand-knotted Tabriz carpet, inspired by the works of renowned Iranian painter Mahmoud Farshchian, depicts the timeless story of Yusuf and Zuleikha. Every knot reflects the extraordinary craftsmanship and rich heritage of Persian carpet weaving.
The story begins with Yusuf, known for his beauty and wisdom. After being sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, he was brought to Egypt and bought by Potiphar, a high-ranking official. Despite false accusations and imprisonment, Yusuf’s faith and talent for interpreting dreams eventually led him to prominence in Egypt. Zuleikha, Potiphar's wife, was drawn to Yusuf, leading to dramatic events. Yusuf's integrity eventually earned him a key role as an advisor to the Pharaoh, helping manage the kingdom during a devastating famine.
Crafted in the style of Mahmoud Farshchian's artwork, this carpet reflects Yusuf's journey and the enduring themes of faith and perseverance. The intricate patterns and fine details of this Tabriz 50 Raj carpet make it not just a floor covering but a piece of art that brings a legendary tale into your home.
