An antique signed Kirman palace carpet, Persia. An outstanding all

An antique signed Kirman palace carpet, Persia. An outstanding all over garden compartment design with flower vines and cypress trees/botehs surrounded by cartouches with Persian poems. Signed: Kastikian. Most likely made on order. Early 20th century. 920 x 532 cm. poems woven into this remarkable carpet. These verses are attributed to Nasir Khusraw, the celebrated 11th-century Persian poet and philosopher. To my knowledge, carpets bearing verses by this particular poet are rare examples within the tradition of Persian carpet weaving.

Estimate:£2,234.80
