The Baharestan Carpet: The Lost Splendor of Ancient Persia
The Baharestan Carpet, also known as the "Spring of Khosrow" carpet, was one of the remarkable masterpieces of the Sasanian era, symbolizing the height of artistry and the wealth of the Persian court. This enormous carpet, spread out in the grand palace of Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sasanian Empire, was designed to depict an eternal spring garden, woven with threads of gold and silver, and adorned with precious stones. Imagine: flowers made of rubies and emeralds, silver streams flowing through golden trees, all meticulously crafted to represent a paradise that would never fade. 3 replies
