More information
Haj Mirza Aqa Imami (1880–1955) is recognised as one of the key figures in early 20th-century Iranian textile design. Working in Isfahan—long a centre of artistic innovation—he developed a highly distinctive visual language, blending classical Persian ornament with a refined, modern sensibility.
Imami’s carpets are marked by carefully proportioned medallions, sophisticated colour palettes and a graceful reinterpretation of traditional floral motifs, resulting in designs with strong visual impact.
