Antique Handwoven Carpet, Corner Medallion Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Isfahan, 138 × 224 cm Ref 10300020

This antique handwoven Isfahan rug in a medallion-and-corner design carries within its warp and weft the calm, resonant voice of art. Throughout every line of Iran’s art history, Isfahan has held a special place. Measuring 138 × 224 cm (4'6" × 7'4") with an area of 3.1 m² (33.37 ft²), it offers generous space for the artful display of its architected floral composition. A weaving density of about 5,100 knots/dm² places it among fine-weave rugs—subtle, orderly knots that speak to the weavers’ exceptional precision and the countless patient hours devoted with loving hands. The cream field and border portray appealing harmony and poise. Upon this tranquil ground, traditional Iranian floral motifs—like fanciful spring garden sprigs—are arranged around the central medallion and four balanced corner spandrels. These blossoms are not merely decorative; they carry symbolic meanings of life, growth, and the endless beauty of nature. A cotton warp and a natural wool pile endow the rug with a warm, breathable, and resilient structure that endures over time while preserving its visual quality. This time-honored combination is the very formula that has kept Isfahan rugs among enduring works for centuries. More than a mere art object, this rug bears the lived experience of generations of Isfahani artisans who knotted in silence so that beauty might speak. For homes seeking authenticity, serenity, and art, it is not simply a rug but a living presence of the culture of Iran.
