Description

An outstanding wool & silk Isfahan carpet, hand woven circa 1920. The design features a single medallion on an ivory field of flowers and vines surrounded by an indigo border of large flower heads. Finely woven (8x8 knots per centimetre and a mind-blowing total of 5.2 million knots!) with velvety soft, kurk wool on a silk foundation and lots of silk highlights. Fabulous secondary colours and one of the best examples of this type that I have ever seen.

Size: 3.43m x 2.33m (11ft 3in x 7ft 8in)

This rug is in good condition with very light, age related wear, slightly heavier in a small section of the outer border (see photos). Fringes and selvedges are secure and it has been professionally cleaned.

Free worldwide shipping.

FAQs

Isfahan carpets originate from the historic cultural centre of Isfahan in central Iran, renowned since the Safavid dynasty for producing exceptionally refined and finely knotted court carpets featuring intricate floral and medallion designs.

Traditional Isfahan rugs are typically crafted using a fine wool pile, often accented with highlights of pure silk, knotted tightly onto a cotton or silk foundation using asymmetric Persian knots.

Authentic pieces are identified by their exceptionally high knot density, sophisticated colour palettes incorporating vegetable dyes, signature Shah Abbas floral motifs, and a crisp, well-defined central medallion.

An antique Persian carpet adds warmth, texture, and historical contrast when placed in a contemporary minimalist room, serving as a grounding focal point beneath neutral modern furnishings.

Preserve antique carpets by vacuuming gently without a rotating brush, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, using a quality rug underlay, and arranging for professional specialist cleaning when necessary.
