The nuances underline this skilful floral design in the great tradition of Persian art, also found in Mughal art, inspired by the miniatures of the Tabriz school, then capital of the Persian Empire, but totally revised at the beginning of the 20th century.
In fact, the Persian carpet trade has existed for several centuries and trade, European and American demand, has meant that workshops have been bending to the demands of commissioners and those since the sixteenth century.
