The designation "Polonaise" reflects the (incorrect) nineteenth-century belief that carpets of this type were from Poland, a notion derived from the presence of similar carpets bearing European coats of arms. In fact, these carpets were made in Iran and shipped abroad in large numbers. Many were also brought to Europe by Persian embassies as gifts from the shahs, and some were commissioned in Iran by visiting Europeans. Though Polonaise carpets are relatively common, the design of overlapping cartouches seen here is rare.. Polonaise Carpet 451024Fragment. Japan. Date: 1675-1725.

Their historical migratory range reaches from the southwest shores of the Caspian Sea to the southern part of Transcaucasia. Art historians have identified Shahsevan weavings, including a variety of small-format bags, only in the past half century. Many Shahsevan weavings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially those with centralized geometric designs, show a striking relationship with Anatolian carpets from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. These older textiles are called Memling carpets, after the fifteenth-century Netherlandish painter who depicted them in his religious works. The khorjin saddlebags from the Mughan plain (on the Caspian Sea in northwestern Iran), such as this piece, continue the Memling design: it features a geometric octagonal medallion motif with stars and anAnonymous, Caucasus carpet.

In the eighteenth century, heavy pile bed rugs such as MMA 13.207 and 33.122 were the favored type of wool bedcovering. Bed rugs began with a blanket base, just like this piece, but the blankets surface was completely covered with looped running stitches that made the pile of the rug. At some point, this fashion for such heavy wool coverings changedperhaps more efficient heating like stoves instead of fireplaces made them not as necessary. However, the overall design of this embroidered bedcover is not that different from the designs commonly found on bed rugs, which also center on bouquet of flowers springing from a two handled pot surrounded by a wide scrolling floral border, like this piece.The blanket bedcover is made with a black wool twill weave ground fabric.
