DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN AND HISTORY:
Teheran was made the capital of Persia by the Qajar Shahs and has remained so since.
Both under the Qajars and the Pahlavis, Imperial workshops were established there, the high point of whose production was under the first Pahlavi emperor, Reza the Great, who ruled from 1926 to 1942. The magnificent carpet offered here is without doubt amongst the greatest examples of Teheran weaving we have seen and must be counted amongst the masterpieces of its group.
Main design of this art example shows the nature of animals and birds in the jungle. It especially shows the lion, king of the jungle, looking at its prey; or how the snake goes up the tree to eat the bird\´s eggs. On the other side, it shows the birds loving each other.
The tree of life motif in the jungle, as normal, shows all kinds of fruits and different trees.
The main border of ornate arabesque palmettes is equally outstanding. An item of consummate artistry throughout, in a unique, exclusively commissioned design, and preserved in excellent condition. This collectable item is also good for investment.
