Persian Flowers (6) — Antique Botanical Print

Persian weavers developed one of the most enduring ways of bringing the flower garden indoors: the bagh, or garden carpet, which lays out a stylised paradise garden as if seen from above, complete with flowering borders, cypress trees, and water channels rendered in wool and silk. This tradition, most closely associated with the Safavid period and later centuries, reflects a much older Persian belief that a garden's flowers offered a glimpse of paradise on earth. The same repertoire of stylised blossoms recurs across Persian textiles, tilework, and manuscript borders, forming a shared visual vocabulary of floral abundance.
