The Noble History and Craftsmanship of Isfahan

Isfahan, once the capital of Persia, is globally renowned for producing rugs that stand among the finest examples of Persian court artistry. Weaving here is synonymous with technical excellence and high-detail design.

The Safavid Golden Age: The tradition of high-quality Isfahan weaving dates back to the Safavid Dynasty (16th-17th centuries), particularly under Shah Abbas the Great. During this era, royal workshops produced magnificent carpets, setting a benchmark for luxury and intricate design that continues today.

Design and Motifs: Isfahan designs are characterized by their breathtaking symmetry and graceful curvilinear patterns, often influenced by the city's spectacular Islamic architecture and garden layouts. Typical motifs include:

An elaborate central medallion (often star- or lozenge-shaped).

Intricate arabesques, scrolling vines, and palmettes filling the field.
A balanced color palette, often featuring rich reds, blues (indigo), and ivory.

Exceptional Construction: Isfahan rugs are celebrated for their extremely high knot density (often hundreds of knots per square inch), achieved using the Persian (asymmetrical) knot. This allows for the incredibly fine detail and pattern clarity. They are often woven with soft, fine wool (kork wool) on a cotton or occasionally a silk foundation.

This Isfahan rug (#08) is a perfect showcase of this revered weaving tradition, bringing a piece of Persia's artistic legacy and sophisticated elegance to any room.
