专家说明

The large scale and excellent quality of this carpet illustrates the exceptional quality of Agra carpet weaving in the 19th century. The richly coloured claret-red field and design of palmettes and linked saz leaves are a clear derivation of Safavid Isfahan carpets woven during the reign of Shah Abbas (1587-1629). The quality, colour, and proportions of the present carpet are comparable to another Agra carpet, formerly in the Manolo March Collection, Mallorca, that sold in these Rooms, 28 October 2009, lot 82.
