The renowned dealer Franses, writes as follows: The Benlian workshop manufactured carpets for the European market in the city of Tabriz during the first half of the 20th century. Edward E Benlian was a London carpet dealer of Armenian descent who maximized his ties to the thriving Armenian community of Tabriz at the beginning of the last century to produce some of the best quality and most sought after Persian carpets of the era. His master weavers included Javan Amir Kizi and Mahmud Ghalicheh. The Benlian designers successfully reinterpreted the classical carpet designs of 16th and 17th century Safavid Persia, simplifying and unifying the iconic patterns and using a lighter, more European-style palette and strong graphic quality that continues to appeal to modern taste.
 
This outstanding example is of a Safavid vase design on a indigo blue ground, framed by a classical vase carpet border. The carpet has an overall light feel and would grace the finest of rooms. The famous Benlian star can be seen in the inner border, lower right hand corner and is signed by the master weaver Rangraaz.
 
The carpet is in excellent condition with even wear and medium pile.
 
The carpet is suitable for normal domestic use such as a dining room or a living room.
 
The carpet has been hand washed and is ready for use.
