Story

An extremely attractive and finely woven carpet, yet a very peculiar and puzzling one indeed. In spirit it is quite related to French Aubusson needlework and is a great example of the period of Qajar infatuation with the court arts of the French Second Empire during the reign of Napoleon III (1851-71), known as 𝙇'𝙀𝙒π™₯π™žπ™§π™š π˜Ώπ™šπ™¨ π™π™€π™¨π™šπ™¨. The rich theme of roses and flowering bouquets, an early and unique interpretation of the 𝙂𝙀𝙑 π™π™–π™§π™–π™£π™œ theme, is not presented in the typical Persian manner but with a more European sensibility. The border suggests a wooden frame. The indigo is fascinatingly saturated and approximates pitch black, acting as a powerful negative space among the floral elements. In terms of weave, it is super fine and suggests a Bakhtiari Khan workshop whereas the dyes hint at Malayer. All in all, a unique and collectible artwork.
