This antique Persian Isfahan rug dates from the period around 1900 and is made from wool and cotton. The piece displays a traditional design incorporating a small central starburst medallion, dense floral vine scrolls, palmette borders, and corner spandrels in a warm crimson red colour palette with navy blue, cream, light blue, pink, and soft green details. The visible surface shows a good pile with slight even wear from age, and the edges are finished with a short fringe. Measuring 266 cm high by 142 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the item suits normal domestic use as a floor covering in a hallway, living room, or study within an English Country House interior.

FAQs

Originating from the city of Isfahan in central Persia, these carpets are distinguished by high knot density, central starburst or floral medallions, and fine curvilinear vine motifs known as eslimi patterns.

Traditional Isfahan carpets are constructed using fine soft wool or silk pile knotted onto a sturdy cotton or silk warp and weft foundation.

Authentic pieces display hand-knotted construction visible on the underside, natural plant-based dye tonal variations called abrash, and symmetrical floral compositions.

A detailed floral rug provides visual warmth and texture when paired with minimalist contemporary furniture or classic timber joinery.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beat-bar, immediate spot cleaning using neutral solutions, and periodic rotation prevent uneven wear and preserve wool fibers.
