Very Fine Antique Isfahan Carpet, 3.98m X 2.74m

1900 - 1920
Description

Isfahan was the capital of Safavid Persia under Shah Abbas who set up court workshops to create carpets which are now considered to be among the greatest carpets ever made. The city became a major carpet weaving centre through the generations, and is still producing carpets of high quality and artistic merit. This carpet lives up to this tradition. Woven around 1920, it has all the hallmarks of a great classic Persian carpet. The weave is fine and the wool is the finest 'Kurk' or lambswool. The colours are exquisite, rich yet well balanced and harmonious while the design is refined and not over ornate. In very good condition, and professionally cleaned, it is ready for immediate use. This is a Persian carpet from the top draw.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Originating from the historic city of Isfahan in central Persia, these carpets are characterised by dense weave structures, central medallion formats, refined curvilinear floral scrolls, and balanced classical proportions.

They are traditionally hand-knotted using high-grade wool or a wool-and-silk pile tied onto a durable cotton or silk foundation, resulting in a fine knot count capable of rendering detailed patterns.

Authenticity is recognised by a firm, fine hand-knotted pile, subtle variations in natural dyes, precise symmetry in the floral motifs, and detailed pattern clarity visible on the underside.

A large Persian carpet serves as an anchor in drawing rooms or dining spaces, introducing warm colour tones and historical pattern that contrasts effectively with understated modern furnishings.

Regular maintenance requires gentle vacuuming using a suction-only nozzle, periodic rotation to distribute foot-traffic wear evenly, and professional cleaning by specialist textile conservators.
