Rugs depicting romantic scenes, wine drinking, musicians, and brokenhearted princesses are often known as ‘Omar Khayyam’ rugs. These carpets are imbued with the poetry and world views of Khayyam, which contrasts with the more ascetic and moralistic religious doctrines of Persia.
The general theme is “wine, women and song” or carpe diem in the European poetic tradition.
As many of the quatrains celebrate a sensuous and hedonistic embrace of life’s fleeting pleasures, Khayyam is now eternally linked to a ‘party’ mentality.
“My friend,
Let’s not think of tomorrow,
But let’s enjoy this
Fleeting moment of life.”
“A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread — and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness —
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!”
Omar Khayyam
(QU0065 D)
