Garden

Template:Infobox Design Carpets with rectangular compartments containing floral motifs. The earliest of such carpets from the seventeenth century represented Safavid gardens. Their compartments are elaborations of the chahar bagh, the quartered garden. The compartments are delineated by rectangular water courses, often containing representations of fish and water fowl. There are rectangular pools or reservoirs at major intersections of the channels. Early garden carpet designs are highly variable, but a group of consistent design is attributed to Kurdistan of about 1800.
