The Leaves design is our artistic variation on the Agra carpets of the Mughal Empire. Agra has long been the capital of the famed Mughal Empire. Agra expanded greatly during the second half of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. Carpet weavers were brought here from all over the Persian Empire to enhance carpet weaving. Today Agra still contains a wealth of remarkable carpets skillfully woven by the artisans of this great city.
The Kashmar is a relatively rare carpet produced by master weavers in the province of Khorassan, in north-eastern Iran. The small city of Kashmar is very old, responsible for producing exquisite carpets for centuries. Kashmars are easily distinguishable because of their unique designs and their large size. The patterns are usually historic tableaux telling the story of a significant event in Persian history. Frequently there are views of the ancient ruins and sculpture of Persepolis, the kings Darius and Xerxes, and birds and animals from the Rubayat of Omar Khayam. There are also Kashmar carpets which resemble the classic Kashan, with central medallion and spandrels.
