FAQs

Isfahan rugs originate from the city of Isfahan in central Iran, a historical hub for Persian carpet weaving renowned for intricate floral motifs, central medallions, and exceptionally fine knot counts.

These rugs typically feature a high-quality wool pile, sometimes incorporating silk highlights on cotton or silk foundation warps to accentuate fine details and create subtle luminosity.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the knot density on the reverse, the natural dyes used in the wool and silk fibres, the precision of the curvilinear Islimi and Shah Abbasi floral motifs, and signs of genuine age.

An antique rug serves as a foundational textile piece that introduces texture, heritage patterns, and rich colour palettes, anchoring contemporary minimalist or traditional room schemes alike.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist washing when necessary, keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using a quality underlay to reduce friction.
