Isfahan in central Iran produced some of the most technically accomplished carpets in the Islamic world. The formal medallion composition, intricate arabesque and restrained palette that defines the Isfahan tradition has been refined over four centuries. This piece is a genuine Iranian Isfahan, woven in Iran with wool pile and silk highlights on a silk base at 420 knots per square inch.
The ivory ground at 5 ft x 7 ft 7 in is warm and light. The red border provides a warm, clear contrast to the pale field. A genuine Iranian Isfahan on a silk base at this knot count is a piece of considerable craft. The silk base gives a firmness and handle quite different from cotton constructions, and the silk highlights add luminosity to the floral motifs.
In your home: Works in formal sitting rooms, master bedrooms and dining rooms. The ivory ground suits rooms that need light without imposing colour.
