Footnotes

Provenance:
Property from a private collection, New York

"The carpet is emblematic of Persian culture. It is a symbol of culture, seasonality, richness, diversity and continuity - in time and in history. As such I have been obsessed by the parallelism and marriage between this symbolic, intricately loomed object and the people to which it belongs." - Sadegh Tirafkan
