Antique Jewish Themed Pictorial Persian Tabriz Rug, Origin: Persian, Circa: 1900 – In the 16th and 17th centuries, Jewish carpet weavers and artisan dyers were brought to work in Persia’s central carpet weaving centers where they introduced stories of Moses and biblical traditions seen in this carpet.
