Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding on these lots. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import this type of lot into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid.

The knot count measures approximately 10V x 9H knots per cm. sq.

The upper half of the border bears six cartouches containing poetry of which the first two lines read;
The bright promise of youth is again in the garden,
The sweet voiced bulbul sends messages to the rose.
O gentle breeze, if you pass by again the youths meadow,
Present our obeisances to the cypress, rose and sweet basil.

Between each of the cartouches are smaller roundels filled with mock kufic seals. The inscription that outlines the Sultan's Head are Quranic verses.
