This early twentieth century hand-woven Ishfahan carpet is a Persian area rug produced in wool, silk and cotton. The textile displays a detailed charcoal field centred by a raspberry medallion, framed by elaborate borders of flowering plants and cartouche motifs, flanked by guard stripes. Additional visible visual elements include cream and turquoise colour highlights, intricate Shah Abbas palmettes, and dense floral scrollwork, alongside short fringed ends. Measuring 200 cm by 121 cm, the carpet fits well on floors in living rooms, studies, or bedrooms, adding traditional pattern and texture to interior spaces. The piece exhibits a fine weave and high knot count, showing excellent overall condition with clean surfaces ready for immediate placement. The structured layout incorporates multiple decorative borders framing the central medallion, creating a balanced and symmetrical composition typical of classic Persian rug design. Placed on the floor in a home today, this textile anchors furniture groupings or defines functional zones within traditional or English country house interiors.

FAQs

Isfahan carpets originate from the historic city of Isfahan in central Iran, renowned for intricate symmetrical designs, central medallions, floral scrollwork, and high knot density.

These carpets are crafted using wool pile on a cotton or silk foundation, frequently incorporating silk highlights woven into the motifs to create visual depth and sheen.

Authentic pieces exhibit high knot counts per square inch, clear design definition on the reverse side, fringe extending directly from the foundation warp threads, and classic motifs such as Shah Abbas palmettes.

A detailed Persian rug anchors a seating area when placed beneath neutral modern sofas, balancing contemporary clean lines with traditional pattern and rich colour.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug annually to distribute foot traffic, and consult a specialist restorer for stain removal to protect the delicate natural fibres.
