The inscription reads; dastur-e sadegh sayrafian esfahan iran, 'Order of Sadegh Seirafian of Isfahan, Iran'

For three generations the master weavers of the Seirafian family have produced rugs that are widely considered today as being of the very best quality. In 1939 the respected banker, investor and carpet collector Haj Agha Reza Seirafian (1881-1975) decided to enter the carpet industry after acquiring two unfinished rugs from a master weaver. By using the best materials, designers and weavers, the Seirafian workshop conformed to a new standard of quality, tripling the knot count from an average of 270 knots per square inch to approximately 500 or more. This level of excellence continued as Seirafian's seven sons followed in his footsteps, along with his first grandson Mojtaba Seirafian. Sadeq Seirafian's pictorial vignettes within the field of the present rug, illustrate the almost balletic prowess of the huntsmen, and continue the Classical thread of Persian traditions drawn from earlier Safavid miniatures and manuscript illuminations.
