The inscription reads; Isfahan, Shoureshi
The knot count measures approximately 11V x 10V per cm. sq.
Abd al-Rahim Shoureshi (1876-1932) and his son Abbas, were the pioneers and possibly the most influential artists in the new era of carpet weaving in Isfahan. Their contribution is particularly notable in view of the unique techniques used for dyeing the silk yarns, unequalled in terms of quality to the work of other local artisans. Many of their designs were drawn by the famous Qajar artist Ahmad Archang (d.1990) who, in turn, had been strongly influenced by his mentor Mirza Agha Emami.
