Haj Agha Reza Seirafian opened his first workshop in 1939, and together with his seven sons he established an outstanding family dynasty as the undisputed masters in the production of Persian workshop carpets. In addition to the Seirafian rugs, the auction includes a mid-16th century Brussels tapestry with the Biblical scene of 'The Crossing of the Red Sea', as well as some Persian Mohtasham Kashan rugs and Caucasian classics. At the modern end of the auction, there will be no fewer than 26 selected rugs from some of Scandinavia’s best textile designers of the 20th century. Among the designers of the rugs are Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Anna-Greta Sjöqvist, Judith Johansson, Sigvard Bernadotte, Judith Johansson, Barbro Nilsson and others. One of the highlights is Tusenskönan (The Daisy) by Märta Måås-Fjetterström.

Cornerstones of the collection include fragments from Japan, China, pre-Hispanic Peru and 16th- to 18th-century Europe.

The show, running until 25 September 2022, is structured around the themes colour, form and texture. These are concepts which are brought out in everything from minimes—the small weavings she has been making from the 1950s—to site-specific installations that respond to David Chipperfield’s museum building.
