Caspian by Sanderson – emerging in Persia, centuries before the concept of Eden, the idea of a paradise garden took hold. This spread like a seed, carried by the wind along the Caspian Sea, India, the Silk Road, and beyond. The Caspian collection interprets these paradisial patterns in intriguing new ways, fit for a contemporary setting.
Unfurling ferns, sprawling branches of a pomegranate tree, and stems, holding fresh succulent cantaloupes, replete with seeds all feature. You’ll see Indian ogee arches beside labyrinthine pattern plays. Then between the fronds of leaves, spot antelopes, tigers, peacocks, and herons luxuriating down beside a Persian-style oasis, cooling off from a summer’s day.
These motifs are rendered in a rich palette that echoes the vibrancy of the stories they depict. Shades of Madder and deep forest greens are soothed by creams, and lighter sages. This is the Persian paradise garden, reimagined.
