The design of the present carpet comes from a widely debated group of carpets know as the 'Salting' Carpets, named after the example in the Victoria and Albert museum London (T.402-1910) which was formerly owned by George Salting who purchased his in London between 1880 and 1883. The intricate floral design is arranged with numerous animals and is set within a broad border puntuated with decorative cartouche panels filled with sweeping calligraphic Persian poetry, quoting the great Iranian poet Hafiz (d.1389). Those seated upon the carpet were to be transported to a garden of paradise upon reading the verses describing a blissful world of verdant gardens filled with roses, wine and bird song.
