Only if this beautiful Seirafian rug could speak...witness of greatness in the Niavaran Palace

I found this beautiful zaronim Seirafian by the Grandmaster Ahmad Seirafian in the Niavaran Palace of the Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in Tehran several years ago. It was so lonely and out of place. I wondered if this rug belonged to this room at the time when Shah lived there.  To my surprise I came across this beautiful photo of the young Crown Prince on the same rug in the same room.  I couldn't stop thinking of the greatness this rug has been part of. I don't know why but this poem from Omar Khayam came to my mind

ین کوزه چو من عاشق زاری بوده است

در بند سر زلف نگاری بوده‌ست

این دسته که بر گردن او می‌بینی

دستی‌ست که برگردن یاری بوده‌ست

Hold your breath and take a bow to show ultimate respect to this legendary masterpiece of Isfahan.  The finest example of pre-Seirafian, old Isfahan (circa 1930) masterpiece rug (2x3m, 2500 kheft,  1000 KPSI), showing an ultra complex, medallion design of grandmaster Ahmad Archang which is beautifully influenced by work of his mentor, the legendary grandmaster Haj Mirza Agha Reza Emami.
