🔆In the period of the safavid dynasty, many Portuguese merchants traded in the southern part of Iran,especially to Bandar Abbas. They usually ordered their carpet there,and the reason why these carpets are known as “portuguese” is derived from this fact.
Until now only eight pieces of this category have been distinguished. The experts presume that the source and origin of these carpets were either in the south of Iran or in India. One of the most famous samples of this group known as Mowje Darya (wave of the sea), is kept in the Osterreichisches Museum fur Angewandte Kunst in Vienna.
