McMullan, Near Eastern Art Research Center Inc., New York 1965 nr.26\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is a long Khorassan Compartment and tree design 17th-century carpet from Khorasan, Eastern Persia. The name of this carpet comes from the provenance of Piero Barbieri, Genoa. The basic design of this rug is essentially quite simple. The field is organized by alternate rows of smaller multilobed medallions and larger reciprocal cartouches. The medallions alternate in width and color, and from the wider ones, four trees of two species grow, filling most of the field. Both the medallions and the cartouches are decorated with palmette patterns. The border pattern is unusually simple, consisting of separate units, each of which displays a repeat design of diamond-shaped rosettes from which spring very heavy, forked arabesques. It seems that carpets of this type might have come from Northern Persia rather than the Northwest since the border design is less elegant than in those of the 16th-century Northwest Persian rugs from which it was derived. The most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this carpet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e  11 colors in total, most used 4 colors are;\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 426 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 316 (No Dye - Sheep’s own Color)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDusty Turquoise \u003c\/strong\u003e 340 (Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (Natural Sheep's Color)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700733346088,"sku":"ART00299","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00299_garden_V-scaled_v2.jpg?v=1776121492","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/the-barbieri-tree-design-carpet","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
