Early 20th Century Persian Pictorial Lavar Kirman Depicting Princess Qajar

About the Item

Early 20th Century Persian Pictorial Lavar Kirman rug depicting Taj al-Saltaneh (1884 – January 25, 1936) who was a princess of the Qajar dynasty. She was a writer, a painter, an intellectual, and an activist who hosted literary salons at her house once a week. She was fluent in Arabic and French and played the violin. She was the first woman in court to take off the hijab and wear western clothes. The first to write a memoir and a vocal critic of the monarchy under her father Naser al-Din Shah and brother Mozaffar ad-Din Shah's rule. She blamed many of Iran's problems then, including poverty, lack of education for masses and women's rights, on incompetent monarchs. Her voice was a lone female voice advocating for change and democracy.
