Purchased from A. Myers & Son, 179 New Bond Street, London. Art referees for the purchase: William Morris, Thomas Armstrong, Caspar Purdon Clarke. Morris made the following comments in his report to the Museum: "The whole of the design is in the finest and most elegant Persian manner, the colour both refined and effective, [...] I have no hesitation in classing the carpet amongst the most excellent of the ancient examples of the art of which a few have been lately brought to this country. [...] I must point out that such carpets as this, though typical of the art of a fine period, are thoroughly individual in character, and there is no chance of meeting with a similar one. [...] I beg to remark that at present the Museum possesses no fine example of carpet weaving, a very serious deficiency in such a collection" (22 February 1883).
