Lot Essay

The signature in the small stellar cartouche reads: sherkat-e qali-bafiyan va mahmud jabbarzada.

The present lot is a direct copy of the Portuguese Carpet in the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Vienna (Friedrich Sarre and Hermann Trenkwald, Österreichisches Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Vienna/Leipzig, 1926/28, vol.I, pl.33). It is slightly shorter but wider in size and signed in a star-cartouche in one corner of the inner guard stripe. Another carpet from the same weaver was sold in these Rooms on 15 April 2010, lot 62.
