Hand-knotted in the historic city of Isfahan in central Iran, this Persian rug exemplifies the finesse and precision of one of Iran’s most celebrated weaving centres. The design is arranged around an elegant oval medallion set on a softly aged ivory field, its form built from finely drawn floral sprays, palmettes and scrolling tendrils. The pattern is densely worked yet carefully balanced, creating a controlled, garden-like rhythm across the surface.
A distinctive green main border frames the central field, filled with meandering vines, rosettes and stylised blossoms, with narrow guard stripes adding definition. The refined drawing, crisp outlines and clear separation of colours are typical of urban Isfahan work, reflecting a high knot density and careful workshop weaving. Wool pile on a cotton foundation provides durability and a pleasant, resilient handle underfoot, suitable for regular use in a main living area or a formal reception space.
In interior terms, the restrained ivory ground and the measured palette of reds, blues, soft ochres and green allow this carpet to sit comfortably in both classical and more contemporary schemes. It pairs well with neutral upholstery and natural woods, adding a layer of Persian craftsmanship and colour without dominating a room. Placed in a sitting room, library or bedroom, it offers both decorative interest at a distance and satisfying detail on closer inspection.
