拍品专文

A rarely seen border on Isfahan carpets, each pair of serrated leaves forms a bracket around a lotus palmette. A variation of this border is also found on a carpet formerly owned by Vitall Benguiat (The Private Collection of the Messsrs. Vitall and Leopold Benguiat, American Art Association, New York, November 1925, no. 65). The field design centers a lozenge formed by palmettes that creates a pseudo central medallion. The oversized palmettes serve as a reminder of the influence these Isfahan carpets had on Agra weavers during the 19th century.
