这条异常精美的塔伯利兹丝毯是卡扎尔王朝（1794-1925）时期波斯地毯中的杰作。依据现有数据显示，从卡扎尔时期流传下来的波斯毯为数不多，而像这样保存完好的丝织毯，更是极为罕见。纵观其整体特色和中心区的图纹绘制，可大致推定这条丝毯的年代为19世纪末期。
丝毯中央的中心葵图案由八瓣漂浮的棕榈叶构成，形态自由而又相互关联，周边被象牙色丝带和格子图形环绕包围，设计充满活力，毫无约束，卷曲形叶纹和各式花叶彼此迭绕，点缀其间，在金红色的背景中显得尤为生动。深蓝色主边缘和五条护边上均饰有花叶图案，对中央画面起到了极佳的衬托作用，令人难忘。整条地毯构图严谨且富有异国情调，光彩壮丽，气质高贵，值得宝藏。
The silk Tabriz group represented by this important example comprises the earliest type of Persian workshop silk carpets to survive in significant numbers from the Qajar period. In this general character and field approach, the piece belongs to the first period of the style, and might feasibly derive from the first quarter of the century. Its exceptional state of preservation alone separates it from those silk carpets of similar size, coloring and powerfully archaic appearance that are palpably older than any other Tabriz products, whether in wool or silk, of the 19th century.
The central design possesses that energetic, almost barbaric, mode of expression common to this silk Tabriz group, with the eight “floating” foliate palmettes establishing the main effect in their free-form construction. These devices are suspended from an ivory ribbon-lattice, producing an underlying medallion and tendril-scroll composition, against the rich golden ground. Various heavily foliated secondary ornaments contribute to the somewhat ghostly fecundity of the field. The deep blue primary border and five guard borders, all save the outer carrying dense vegetal and floral arrangements, provide an imposing setting for the central panel.
