Story

A very sweet Zarcharak size figural rug from the famous Seirafian dynasty of Isfahan. Two princes sit in a pleasure garden, wearing the distinctive 16th century Safavid caps, reading wine and reciting poetry. The whole composition is influenced by 15th century Timurid miniature painting styles and recreates the idealized life of pleasure and enjoyment.

Above the Mehrab we see a couplet of poetry from the legendary 13th century poet Hafez. It is taken from his Ghazal number 127:

روشني طلعت تو ماه ندارد
پيش تو گل رونق گياه ندارد

The moon does not have the radiance of your beam
The flower does not have any scent compared to you.

Sublime. Timeless. Brilliant.

I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
