The Legacy of Isfahan Rugs: History and Craftsmanship

Isfahan, one of Iran's most historically and architecturally stunning cities, is renowned as a true center of Persian art. Rug weaving here represents the pinnacle of sophisticated urban carpet design.

The Golden Age: The history of Isfahan rugs goes back to the Safavid Dynasty (16th-17th centuries), particularly under the patronage of Shah Abbas the Great. He moved the capital to Isfahan, turning it into a cultural epicenter where court workshops produced some of the finest carpets ever woven.

Design Inspiration: Isfahan designs are characterized by exquisite detail, perfect symmetry, and curvilinear patterns. Motifs are often inspired by the city's famed architecture, tilework, and miniature paintings, commonly featuring:
An elegant central medallion (often derived from the famous mosque of Shah Lutf Allah).
Intricate arabesques, palmettos, and scrolling vine motifs.
Exceptional Quality: These rugs are celebrated for their extremely high knot density (often 300 KPSI and higher), which is achieved using the asymmetrical (Persian) knot. This fine knotting allows for the complexity and clarity of their detailed designs. The finest Isfahan rugs often utilize "kork" wool (fine, soft wool) on a cotton or even silk foundation.

This Isfahan rug is a work of enduring artistic and historical merit, ready to bring the elegance of Persian court art into your space.
