Isfahan in central Iran produced some of the most technically refined carpets in the Islamic world. The formal medallion composition, intricate arabesque and balanced palette that defines the Isfahan tradition has been refined over four centuries. This piece is woven in Iran with wool pile and silk highlights on a silk base at 529 knots per square inch, a high knot count that gives the design considerable resolution.
The deep midnight blue ground at 3 ft 7 in x 5 ft 7 in is commanding for a small format piece. The burgundy border provides warm contrast. A genuine Iranian Isfahan at this knot count on a silk base is a piece of real craft. The silk base gives the carpet a firmness and handle quite different from cotton-based constructions.
In your home: Works in studies, formal bedrooms and as a collector piece. The dark ground and precise detail suit rooms with considered furnishing and good light.
