This is one of the oldest and most beautiful designs. The inspiration is from the garden at the Palace Of Amer Fort, Jaipur, India. The first time this particular design of carpet was made in 1632 AD. Each block represents a tree of life and overall the pattern is called as the garden of Paradise. The advantage of this particular carpet is that it has many colors and goes well with most of the decors. Since then the same design carpets are being made in Persia now Iran.
