The inscription reads hasb al-farmyayesh-e mu’tamid al-sultan aqa-ye sultan muhammad mo’in-e homayun amal-e bakhtiyari sana 1317, which can be translated as 'On the order of Mu’tamid al-Sultan Aqa Sultan Muhammad Mo’in-e Homayun, Bakhtiari work, year 1317'.

Sultan Muhammad Khan (1842-1924), also known as Sardar-e Ashja’, "Bravest Commander", was born into a powerful branch of the Bakhtiari tribe in which his father, brothers, uncles and cousins were all extremely prominent members. He was five times the governor of Isfahan, and at other times governor of Arak and deputy head of the whole Bakhtiari tribe (Il-Begi). He died in 1924 of an illness in Europe. A pair of Bakhtiari white ground bid Majnun rugs made in 1899 and inscribed in the name of Sultan Muhammad Khan were sold in these Rooms 11 June 1987, lot 59.
