Consisting of bulbous motifs interconnected with intertwining curvilinear lines, this carpet, titled Fraga, is hand-knotted, measures 4’9” x 7’2”, and belongs to the Orley Shabahang Art Nouveau collection. Fraga, detailed in warm hues of scarlet, maroon, taupe, and cream wool, showcases a cascading nouveau-stylized design. Crafted by the owner and lead designer, Bahram Shabahang, the pattern derives inspiration from an antique textile fragment. Infatuated by its flowing curves, Bahram incorporated this textile design and re-mixed its scale and motifs into a repetitive pattern. Onlookers also say they see strawberries within the design. The fruit-like shapes interconnect with light and dark brown wool, acting as the strawberries’ stems. What makes Fraga truly a unique piece is its traditional construction.
Orley Shabahang works house to house, village to village with our weavers, working to preserve the art of weaving as a cottage industry, and implementing ancient weaving methods to create the antiques of the future.
