Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding on these lots. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import this type of lot into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid.

拍品專文


The design of the present carpet is inspired by the naturalistic interpretations of flowers and plants used in the seventeenth century carpet designs of Mughal India. Here the weavers intended the silk flowers of the individual stems of poppies, lilies and carnations to shimmer as one walked passed and have been executed to the typical high standard associated with the workshops of Qum, which began weaving from 1930 (Jon Thompson, Carpet Magic, Cambridge, 1983, pp.6-7).
