Pierre Loti, passionate about orientalism, speaks of it in his writings in 1900 (Vers Ispahan) as marvels of motley wool.

These carpets have shades of pink, red, ocher, many blues, purple and the majority of them bear geometric patterns.
The most common design used is a large central field with one or more square medallions.
