Artist/maker unknownImage 1 of 21 / 2
This carpet is one of the best known and most highly respected examples of the classic era of Persian carpet weaving (the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries). The six column-like cypress trees in varied blue-green shades form a striking symmetrical arrangement.
Originally, the carpet was almost forty feet long, twice as long as it now appears.
