About the Item
The source of the carpet comes from the book Oriental Rugs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dimand, Maurice S., and Jean Mailey, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 1973 fig.90. If the so-called vase-technique carpets represented the triumph of Safavid workshop weaving in the seventeenth century, another group of Safavid carpets, popularly if erroneously known as "Polonaise" or "Polish" carpets, demonstrates the extent to which Safavid weavers would go to create flashy and expensive objects of conspicuous consumption. Polonaise carpets are believed to have been woven in state-controlled workshops in seventeenth-century Iran and were probably made specifically as royal gifts to noble regime supporters and foreign dignitaries. Why Poland? In time-honored and still current Middle Eastern practice, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Seventeenth-century Roman Catholic Polish and Shi'ite Muslim Persian Kings had one thing in common; they were both opposed to the vast Sunni Muslim Ottoman Turkish Empire that lay between their two kingdoms. The exact example is exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET Museum). Soft colors are used for this carpet.

Ararat Rugs Garrus Bidjar Medallion Carpet 19th Century Revival Rug Natural Dyed
By Ararat Rugs
Located in Tokyo, JP
This is a central medallion carpet designed 19th century in Garrus ( Gerous or Garus ) region, Eastern Kurdistan area. Garrus is located in the foothills approaching the flatlands of Persia, Garrus has been a significant Kurdish city since antiquity when it was the capital of Media Minor. Important writers, scientists, and politicians from Garrus contributed to the Safavid dynasty, and it was a major commercial center. Garrus was more populous than Senna in the nineteenth century. As it was in the west of Persia, it was fortunate to escape the ravages of the Afghans and to a certain extent the economic incompetence of Nadir Shah. In the eighteenth century, it benefited from the lack of a centralized Persian government bent on collecting high taxes, and from the benign, decentralized rule of the Zands. The brilliant weaving school of Garrus, like that of Senna, did not develop in a vacuum in a process of deus ex machina...
