ISPAHAN carpet (Persia), early 20th century Dimensions : 240 x 151cm Technical characteristics : Wool velvet on a cotton foundation. Five ivory and navy borders with scrolls and interlacing flowers frame the main ruby with a succession of floral corollas on polychrome flower stems.

Four cherry red spandrels with flowers and scrolls complete the set. Bibliography : - Le grand guide du tapis by J.
