Tehran
early 20th century, 218 x 144 cm, North Persia
This precious carpet was produced in one of the master workshops of the Persian capital, Tehran. Very fine in weave and perfectly drawn down to the smallest detail, its superb quality is compelling. A flat scalloped arch above the open purple-red field is supported by two slender columns. A small column placed between them holds a vase whose decoration and oval shape correspond to the lamp suspended on three chains from the apex of the arch. The carpet was consigned from the estate of the well-known specialist, Dr. Amir Pakzad, and was published in his book as early as 1978.

Condition
Very good condition.
