拍品專文

The design of the present carpet is clearly inspired by the 16th and 17th century cloudband and palmette designs of the Safavid and Mughal traditions. The renaissance in Indian production was buoyed by the weaver’s exposure to these designs through the carpets of the Maharaja of Jaipur and the collection in Bijapur and later, the publication of lavish carpet reference books with hand-coloured plates such as Arthur Upham Pope's, Survey of Persian Art, Oxford, 1938 which shows a closely related prototype, Vol. XIII, pl.1126. (Bennett, 1987, no.5 ).
