This one full of various fruits.
The wind had in the shade of its trees
Spread a multi-coloured carpet.’

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 knot count measures approximately 7V x 6H per cm. sq.

The bottom two inscriptions on this rug contain identical verses from the Gulistan to those which appear in the rug offered in the present sale, lot 157. Similarities in the style of the script suggest that this may also be associated with the same workshop. Indeed, Heriz rugs to have come onto the market in recent years include examples with even more extensive inscriptions, such as a rug sold in these Rooms, 5 April 2011, lot 36, which had inscriptions similar to this filling the inner border. A rug with an identical cartoon to the present lot, albeit with verses from Hafez and a slightly different colour scheme, was also offered in these Rooms, 23 April 2013, lot 133.
