Persian art and relics grace Washington embassy scene
The Iranian Embassy displays silver and tile pieces, ancient mosaics and tapestries. Persian rugs from Kirman and Senandaj, two 70 year old tapestries, and a King Abbas throne-site duplicate highlight the collection. Historical notes mention Dutch fleet capture in 1795 and early fingerprint use in China.
