A pictorial carpet, picture carpet, tableau rug, carpet tableau or rug tableau is an ornamental rug specially prepared for hanging on room and hall walls for decoration. The designs and samples on pictorial carpets are completely different from those on common floor rugs. Pictorial carpets are usually framed to sell and use.
 
Pictorial carpets are being woven exactly the same way as the Persian rug has been made over the past 2500 years so there is no different in quality. The main different is that in pictorial carpet, there is not the ancient design and it always has a picture or scenery that are much more colorful with many different scenes. They can be framed the same way as an art work or painting and they are designed to be hung on the wall.

Khosrow Parviz was the last great king of the Sassanian Empire, reigning from 590 to 628. Our pictorial Carpet depicts 14 different styles of Khosrow Parviz around the rug. The oval shaped pattern shows Khosrow Parviz and his know wife “Shirin” having Bazm (Banquet) while musicians are playing music and a dancer is dancing. Around oval, his Kingdom and battles are illustrated. The Tableau is machine made and is made of polyester. However the look of the rug is same as a pure silk.

Colors may vary slightly in person due to differences in monitor settings and lighting.
