A Vintage Persian Isfahan Pictorial Rug. A lecherous old Mullah is embraced by a dark haired young beauty, all against a light blue ground and under a branching tree with pink flowers. A simurgh-like bird flies above. The image of the old man and the young girl, the “ill assorted couple”, is a trope of Persian art in the 19th and 20th centuries. This finely woven –probably Isfahan – mat captures the moment exactly.
