🔹Depicting one of the most famous kings of Persia, Nader Shah Afshar
🔸Commissioned by the Qajar Prince Abdol Hossein Mirza, known by his ceremonial titles of Farman Farma and Salar Lashgar.
🔹In the year 1326 (1908), after ruling the province of Kerman for many years, during which he became acquainted with its carpet workshops firsthand.
🔸Farman Farma was arguably the most powerful man in Persia in the 15 years leading to the Constitutional Revolution. He held a number of government ministries, provincial governorships and was also the Commander of the Qajar Army.
🔹To us he stands as the foremost carpet collector of his day. A number of his signed pieces are in the Carpet Museum of Iran in Tehran . The designs he commissioned were replicated by other weavers.
So if you’ve seen Nader Shah on a Kerman, it’s a copy of this!
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
