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 red ground Isfahan carpets, such as the present lot, with scrolling arabesques terminating in palmettes set within an indigo or deep green border of similar palmettes, are the most commonly encountered group of 17th century Persian carpets to have survived to the present day. Their dating and popularity is attested by the number that can be seen in paintings, particularly by the Dutch and Flemish artists of the period. A comparable example sold in The Dani and Anna Ghigo Collection, Christie's London, 12 May 2016, lot 401.This rug retains a wide variety of original colours and their juxtaposition is particularly harmonious. For a brief account of these carpets covering the arguments as to their origins please see the foreword to the Bernheimer Family Collection of Carpets sold in these Rooms, 14th February 1996, pp.15-16.
