The inscription cartouche reads;
dar ‘ahd-e abad moddat-e soltan nader shah khallada alla[h molkahu] 1159
‘During the eternal reign of Sultan Nadir Shah, may God perpetuate [his kingdom], 1159 (1746-7)’
dar kar-khaneh-ye shaykh ‘abd ol-qader dorokhsh
‘In the factory of Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qadir Doroshk’
It appears to have been common practice for the workshop of Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir to lavish praise on the former Sultan Nader Shah within their carpet inscriptions, as seen on a carpet of similar pictorial design, sold at Sotheby's London, 14 October 1998, lot 130. In addition to the verses above, that carpet makes mention that it was; By the Order of His Excellency, exalted in dignity, Mr Mirza Zaki. Both carpets are woven with a very distinctive, caricature-like hand with a portrait gallery of head shots comprising their main border, however, neither carpet was woven in the 18th century but are more in keeping with carpets woven in the last decades of the 19th century.
