One of the 3 principal design themes of early Tehran carpets was the Garrus split leaf arabesque that was made famous in Bijar. This goes back to the central figure of Ali Reza Khan Garrusi, a native feudal lord of Garrus who rose to become commander of the Qajar army. When he moved to Tehran with his fancy carpets, the princes and dignitaries at court were alerted to the high status and beauty of this design. It remains rare to find a Garrus design on a Qajar Tehran.
