pattern is from a group of small Safavid silk rugs united by their clarity
of design, delicate patterns, precise draftsmanship, weave structure, and
size. Scholars generally agree that the silk carpets and rugs in this
group were made in Kashan, an important Persian mercantile center for silk
products, during the late 16th century. Its complex designs suggest that
painters, presumably miniaturists from royal ateliers, directed the
artisans who made them. The use of pure silk pile created a richer surface
sheen and more luminous coloring than wool, and the high density of
knotting required to work with the material resulted in unusually refined
detail. Although the precise function of the small silk Kashans is
unknown, it is doubtful that they were ever intended as floor coverings
and may have been bestowed as imperial gifts.
