This Mahindra carpet has a classic 15th century Vase design. Note that the many different floral designs - each flower is as different as they are in nature. This Mahindra has a large center medallion floating on a sea of blue in the open abrashed field. The complexity of the corner spandrels and the border give this rug a great presense. This Mahindra has a large repeating shield design on an unusual dark green ground.
Most traditional carpets use combinations of red, white, and blue.
It is rare to find greens and blacks. This Mahindra design comes from an old Persian motif - gardens and flowers and shade trees being highly prized in a world of deserts and little water.
