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. 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 richness of colour, the quality of the lanolin-rich wool and the fine knot count of the present rug, are all indicative characteristics of the Kashkuli, who were a sub-tribe of the larger, semi-nomadic Qashqai confederacy in the Fars province (James Opie, Tribal Rugs of Southern Persia, Portland, 1981, p.16). The overall field pattern of polychrome stripes or “canes” which here are arranged vertically, but can be seen in zig-zag formations, were part of the design vocabulary of the Kashkuli, along with finely drawn repeating botehs, herati pattern or directional millefleurs designs. All of these patterns required highly skilled weavers in order to effectively execute these intricate motifs.
