Isfahan

A charming and finely hand knotted Isfahan Persian rug from Iran with silk highlights and an exceptionally elegant appearance. This classical city woven carpet combines master craftsmanship with a refined colour palette of deep blue, warm red, ivory, beige and delicate accents of light blue and gold. The large central medallion unfolds almost like an ornamental artwork and is surrounded by intricate floral arabesques, scrolling vines and finely drawn blossoms. Against the light ivory field, the extraordinary level of detail becomes especially visible, giving the carpet remarkable depth and sophistication. The blue corner spandrels together with the richly decorated border frame the composition beautifully and enhance the perfect symmetry of the design. Isfahan rugs are regarded among the finest and most prestigious Persian carpets, celebrated for their extremely fine weave, elegant curvilinear motifs and the use of premium wool and silk. The silk is carefully incorporated to highlight specific details and to create a luxurious shimmer that changes subtly depending on the light. This gives the surface a vibrant and almost luminous character. The classical medallion composition reflects the artistic heritage of the Safavid period when Isfahan became one of the great cultural capitals of Persia. Despite its refined elegance, the rug has a strong and prestigious presence. Its generous size makes it ideal for larger living spaces, elegant reception rooms, libraries or sophisticated interiors. At the same time, the light field keeps the atmosphere open and balanced, allowing furniture and architecture to harmonise naturally with the carpet. A timeless and highly decorative collector’s piece with enduring beauty.
