A vintage Persian Tabriz Pictorial rug. Two heraldic lions, obviously taken from a European print, support a cartouche with a drinking stork, above a pond with a duck and below giant colorful rosettes and bud corner flowers, all on a dark blue ground and within the thinnest of borders. The stippled lions are stylistically different from the rest of the rug and are the only three-dimensional forms present. A rug for hanging or on a small table.
