Story

A noble Qajar dynasty masterpiece with one of the most remarkable renditions of the Millefleurs (Haj Khanomi) pattern: flowering vase, bowls of fruit, and 1,001 flowers radiating upwards from ground to sky.

The quality is sensational, both of weave and of materials (especially the vivid, vivacious dyes). The size is more generous than usual for a ghaliche. The border with its diagonal stripes imparts additional mesmerizing charm.

The main draws the grand signature by one of the legends of first generation Tehran weaving: Ostad Asghar. The mention of the locale, Tehran, is of extreme importance for establishing the Qajar capital as a major center of carpet weaving.
