"We are sending you tomorrow on approbation, by instructions received from Sir Samuel Montagu a Perso-Polonese Rug, which Mr Purdon Clarke saw at Sir Samuel's house. The rug cost us 60 guineas at Christie's, and we send it to you at 10% profit." The Museum's Director Caspar Purdon Clarke added: "This type of design is not represented in our collection, and as these carpets are rarely met with I consider it desirable to acquire one for the Museum."

Durlacher Bros had purchased this carpet from the estate of Alfred Morrison, and in the Christie's sale catalogue, it may be identified as lot 133: "A Silk Carpet, with crimson centre, pale blue border, with interlaced arabesque folirage in the centre in brilliant colours - from Herat, 16th century".
