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.
