One easily recognizes in the interlacing of the palms, almond blossoms often tied on these carpets. The border and its counter-borders are very sophisticated, so fine is the arrangement of interlacing and flowers, we recognize lilies and lotus flowers accompanied by arabesques. The design of the central medallion is specific to these carpets with elegant extensions in large pendants in the design of pendants, and the patterns of the angles show great research. Pile and edges in very good condition, the restored fringes are very beautiful. A slight discoloration on the top of the carpet, but this does not affect the quality of the piece, quite the contrary. We find substantially the same medallions among the ancient Kachan and Tabriz of the same period. We have great difficulty in imagining the infinite patience that was needed yesterday and that is needed today for the creation of such beautiful pieces. # Carpet knotted under the Kadjar or Kadjar dynasty ( Qājār, Qadjar, Qajar, Persian: قاجار ) Turkmen dynasty which reigns over Iran from 1786 to 1925 This type of carpet proves to us the artistic, fine, precise and acute sense, craftsmen from Isfahan.
