Lot Essay
The present lot is of a typical vertical striped design, based on a palette of seven colours with a few small apparently randomly placed geometric motifs. For a similar example see Parviz Tanavoli, Shahsevan, Iranian Rugs and Textiles, Fribourg, 1985, pl.41. A brighter coloured example is illustrated in Peter Willborg, Textile Treasures from Five Centuries, Stockholm, 1995, pl.29,
