43245 Antique Bibikabad, Persia, late nineteenth century - A lush ‘mina khani’ or trellis pattern of vines and palmettes in rich shades of red and terracotta with cool green and ivory unfolds against a dramatic dark ground on this exciting antique Bibikabad. Despite the precision of the classic Persian design, the drawing is nonetheless free and spontaneous, echoing the animated effect of the palette. A finely detailed ‘turtle’ vinescroll border encloses the bolder patterning of the field, but set against red for added framing contrast.
