Footnotes

Provenance: Acquired Sotheby's, Islamic Works of Art, Carpets and Textiles, 13th April 1988, lot 83 (£28,000).

The design of the present lot is based on 'The Emperor's Carpet', mid-16th Century carpet, probably from Herat, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The similarities of the two carpets lie not only in the aesthetic, but also proportionally as the two pieces are of an almost identical size.
