Rugs decorated by this repeat pattern of realistically drawn, large oak leafs are part of a cluster of weavings woven in the prestigious Saber atelier in Mashad, as sometimes these are distinguished by the workshop’s signature. The fact that the vast majority of Persian Modernist rugs originate from Khorasan’s traditional antique Persian carpet workshops is because of a specific enterprise devised by their later descendants, aimed at satisfying the local demand for weavings in the modern European style.
