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 woven in Iran with wool pile and silk highlights on a silk base at 460 knots per square inch, a high knot count that gives the design exceptional resolution.
The ivory ground at 3 ft 7 in x 6 ft is warm and light. The camel and beige border provides a quietly harmonious frame. A genuine Iranian Isfahan on a silk base at this knot count is a piece of considerable craft. The silk base gives a different handle and firmness from cotton-based constructions, and the silk highlights in the pile add luminosity to the floral motifs.
In your home: Works in studies, formal bedrooms and sitting rooms. The ivory ground suits rooms that need light without imposing colour.
