Fine Isfahan Rug, Central Persia, Circa 1910, 2.14m X 1.42m

1900 - 1920
Description

Dating to the early 20th century, this is a fine old Isfahan rug with many lovely features. The light blue field is delightful and has a beautifully drawn design with layers of activity. A flowering urn of roses flanked by antlered deers lies within columns and a mihrab. The rest of the field is filled with more flowers and meandering vines and birds. It is all so elegant and engaging. The ivory outer field has further floral decoration and more birds, while the crimson main border frames the field composition with palmettes and meandering vines. However, my favourite feature of this rug are the minor inner and outer guard stripes which are filled with rows of miniature buildings, just so charming and absolutely sensational work. This rug will reward repeated viewings. One can enjoy it over and over again, a wonderful example of Persian weaving.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Persian Isfahan Rug to the 1910s.

This fine Isfahan rug is an antique Persian wool and cotton floor covering from the early 20th century, presented in a red, blue, and cream palette with a hand-knotted finish. The light blue central field displays a vase and floral tree motif flanked by deer, detailed with meandering vines, birds, and columns beneath a mihrab. This field is framed by an ivory outer field and a crimson main border decorated with palmettes, meandering vines, and further birds, alongside minor inner and outer guard stripes filled with rows of miniature buildings. The carpet measures 214 cm high and 142 cm wide. Suitable for positioning as a central floor covering in a living room, study, or hallway, this piece brings traditional Persian style to an interior. The dense pile and intricate pictorial motifs suit placement in spaces where the craftsmanship remains visible. Regular care such as gentle vacuuming without a beater bar maintains the wool and cotton fibres.

FAQs

Isfahan rugs originate from central Persia and are distinguished by high knot density, detailed curvilinear scrollwork, and complex pictorial or floral compositions.

These carpets are hand-knotted using high-grade wool or silk pile onto a tightly spun cotton or silk foundation, allowing for precise pattern definition.

Authentic examples exhibit fine knotting, natural dye variations known as abrash, symmetrical alignment, and classical city-workshop design motifs.

A patterned Persian carpet serves as a focal point to anchor seating areas, pairing well with contemporary neutral furniture, polished floorboards, or traditional dark timber.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush, blot spills immediately with cool water, and utilize a high-quality rug pad to reduce wear.
