A Persian Isfahan carpet from central Persia originates from circa 1900. The piece takes the form of a hand-knotted wool, cotton, and silk rug finished with short fringed ends along the top and bottom edges. A large circular red and blue central medallion dominates the design, set against an ivory field filled with spiralling vines, floral palmettes, and numerous small animal figures. A wide dark blue border frames the central field, populated by dense floral motifs and repeating patterns in shades of red, pink, and pale blue. The overall palette consists of red, ivory, and blue tones throughout the field and borders. Measuring 420 cm high by 290 cm wide, the carpet provides a substantial floor covering suitable for grand reception spaces, drawing rooms, or large studies within a traditional home. The surface shows light signs of age consistent with a rug of this period, while the pile remains in very good condition overall. Placed on a hardwood or stone floor, it anchors large furniture groupings while adding warmth, texture, and historic Persian design character to the interior.

Isfahan carpets originate from the city of Isfahan in central Persia and are recognized for high knot density, intricate floral palmettes, spiralling arabesques, and balanced medallion compositions.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using a wool pile, sometimes incorporating silk highlights, crafted onto a durable cotton or silk warp and weft foundation.

Authentic Isfahan rugs feature symmetrical knots, high knot counts per square inch, precise symmetry around a central medallion, and natural dye variations throughout the pile.

An Isfahan carpet serves as a focal foundation in living or dining areas, balancing structured modern furniture or complementing classic antique timber pieces.

To maintain an antique carpet, rotate it periodically to ensure even foot-traffic wear, vacuum without a rotating brush bar, and use specialized hand-cleaning methods when required.
