Muut tiedot

The carpets from British Raj are known for their beautiful patterns, fine quality and eye-catching colours. After the British Queen Victoria's consort, the Prince Albert, held the 1851 London exhibition (The great exhibition), where several carpets from the new British Empire were represented, demand increased rapidly. In 1862, a prison manufactory was established in Lahore, and next to the one in Agra, was to become the most famous. Weaving studios were established in the Indian prisons where the prisoners were forced to weave carpets as part of their punishment. The prisoners were always instructed by a master weaver. The inspiration was taken from older antique carpets, partly from India but also from abroad such as Iran. The depicted carpet with its ‘Shah Abbas’ pattern is a true testimony to that fact.
