Lily

With a weave reminiscent of a village Tabriz carpet, the large field of this rug has a subtle offset medallion in red, pink and blue which is repeated across the field and reciprocated in the border.

Green vines meander chunkily and aggressively amongst the medallions and fruit into blue blossom, while a dashed border grounds the more animated elements. The overall impression is of a verdant garden rug, traditionally thought to be a representation of paradise.

Though this one does not follow the formal composition of such, it is hard not to draw the parallel.
