Rare Antique Handwoven Carpet, All-over Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Isfahan, 132 × 210 cm Ref 10200014
An antique and rare handwoven Isfahan rug, a majestic manifestation of taste, mastery, and the enduring culture of Iran, woven in Isfahan—the everlasting capital of Iranian arts, long synonymous with delicacy and craftsmanship in carpet weaving. This distinguished piece presents an all-over design with Shah-Abbasi floral motifs, embodying uncommon splendor and cohesion throughout its weave and offering a truly regal refinement. The timeless "Shah-Abbasi" motif, rooted in Safavid art, extends across the field and, through a composition of ceremonial blossoms and classical arabesques, creates an imaginative, aristocratic ambiance. Both the field and border are rendered in a gentle cream palette—an elegant, noble hue that lets the motifs glow softly and lends interiors a calm, balanced, and unified presence. Soft, high-quality wool, combined with a firm, refined thread warp, grants this piece excellent quality and durability. What sets it apart is its exceptionally fine weaving at a density of about 7,300 knots/dm², a level associated with distinguished works and a testament to the remarkable skill of Isfahani weavers; such fineness heightens the clarity and beauty of every motif. Its dimensions are 132 × 210 cm (4'4" × 6'11"), and its area is 2.78 m² (29.92 ft²), making it well suited to interiors of classic, luxurious design—spaces that this rug will transform into centers of dignity, history, and art. This all-over Isfahan rug with Shah-Abbasi floral motifs is not merely a decorative object but a cultural treasure: a profound expression of the grandeur of Iranian civilization that settles with grace upon the floor and fills the space with authentic character.
