Antique Handwoven Carpet, All-over Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Isfahan, 130 × 200 cm Ref 10200024

This antique handwoven Isfahan rug in an all-over design with pictorial motifs reads like an illuminated book: every warp a word in praise of culture, every weft a sentence of beauty. Born from the depth of Persian tradition and artistic grandeur, it hails from Isfahan—a city celebrated worldwide not only for majestic architecture and delicate tilework, but also for legendary carpets. Measuring 130 × 200 cm (4'3" × 6'7") with an area of 2.6 m² (27.99 ft²), and woven at approximately 7,300 knots/dm², it belongs to the very finely woven, artisanal class—fineness that could only come from the masterful hands of Isfahani weavers, as if the motifs were painted with a brush rather than formed with wool on the loom. A multicolored field lends the piece a lively, dynamic spirit, while a madder-red border creates a dignified, classical balance that captivates the eye and carries the mind on a journey. The use of wool in the weave, together with a cotton warp, brings both desired softness and durability, ensuring stability and long life. Its all-over pictorial motifs are silent narratives of myth, culture, and life—wordless, yet full of feeling and meaning. More than a floor covering, this rug is a living tableau for those who live with art, a pure choice for interiors adorned with authenticity.
