About Omar Khayyam:
Omar Khayyam (1048–1131) is one of the most celebrated Persian polymaths, known for his Rubaiyat—a collection of four-line philosophical poems exploring time, love, and life. Born and buried in Neyshabur, Iran, Khayyam’s poetry continues to inspire across cultures and generations. His work gained international fame thanks to the 19th-century English translations by Edward FitzGerald.
This cushion cover connects directly to his roots, both geographically and poetically.
