Inside the Gallery (Australia): Cadry's Enormous Legacy

Weavers, Merchants and Kings, the exhibition at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum that celebrates the 70th anniversary of Cadrys Rugs and recognises the Cadry family’s decades of generosity as Powerhouse donors. The exhibition features many historic woven objects, including a world-first display of a rare and enormous Royal Persian Dorokhsh carpet. While examining the various items on display, Tim Stackpool discusses the history of Persian textiles and their introduction of the designs and patterns to Australia with curator and anthropologist Professor Pedram Khosronejad.
