It became popular in the 19th century and is especially associated with the towns of Abadeh and Shiraz. A finely drawn, densely repeated Zil-i-Sultan such as this one is regarded as a connoisseur’s pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhat does “semi-antique” mean?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 0;\"\u003eIn the rug trade, “antique” usually means roughly 100 years or older, while “semi-antique” describes pieces of around 50 to 90 years.
