This publication sets out to investigate a significant yet
overlooked era of carpet weaving in Iran. The time-span stretches
between two highly significant dates, which are exactly 150 years
apart. The first, 1722, marks the downfall of the Safavid dynasty.
The second date, 1872, represents the formal start of the modern
carpet revival, when increased demand attracted European attention
and changed the industry's structure. Prevailing opinion has
hitherto been that in-between not much happened and that there was
an overall decline in carpet production. Thankfully that is not the
case, otherwise this book would not exist. New evidence brings to
light a period of design evolution, thriving workshops and
prestigious commissions. Through careful study of documentary
sources, artworks in different media but first and foremost the
hand-knotted rugs themselves, the glory of this forgotten age of
the Persian carpet is brought to life.
