Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding on these lots. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import this type of lot into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid.

The knot count measures approximately 8V. X 8H per cm. sq.

By the late 19th century in Persia there was a fashionable interest in the textiles, tapestries and furnishings imported from Russia and Europe. These chintz and rococo-style influences were combined with highly floral designs, the most popular of which was the gul-u-bulbul, 'flower and bird' pattern comprising rose-filled bouquets upon which paired birds are nesting, each linked with flowering wreaths and leafy garlands. For comparable examples see, Siawosch Azadi, Persian Carpets. Vol. 1. Catalog of the Tehran Carpet Museum, Tehran 1977, no.10 and Cecil A. Edwards, The Persian Carpet, London 1975, ill. 118.
