Isphahan Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

Isphahan is famouse for its high quality decorative workshop rugs. The knot counts are high which allows for the drawing of complex curved tendrils and rounded medallions. They are certainly fine pieces and although I prefer wild tribal rugs with bright colours and wonky designs I can’t help but be impressed by some workshop pieces. This one I find mesmerising to look at such is the complexity of the design. The colours are subdued overall but the very dark background shows off the subtle red and gold, real antique colours I think. The occasional splash of light blue catches the eye like a ray of light catching water. I could look at this rug for a long time, a very fine and beautiful example.

Good condition, the ends and sides have been reworked at some point.

FAQs

Isfahan rugs are renowned for their high knot density, intricate floral arabesques, central medallions, and fine scrollwork, originating from the historic Persian weaving centre of Isfahan.

Traditionally, these carpets are hand-knotted using fine wool pile, often with silk highlights, woven onto a durable cotton or silk warp and weft foundation.

Authentic hand-knotted rugs feature slight organic asymmetry in the weave, a underside pattern that mirrors the top surface clearly, and natural tonal variations in colour known as abrash.

A traditional Persian rug serves as an anchoring focal point in contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with neutral upholstery, warm timber elements, or dark leather furniture.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar removes surface dust, while periodic rotation and specialist professional cleaning preserve the fibres and colour intensity.
