Description
The Persian Isfahan Vase design rug is a stunning example of exquisite craftsmanship, embodying the rich artistic heritage of Iran. Hand-knotted with meticulous attention to detail, this rug features a luxurious combination of silk and wool on a silk base, offering an unparalleled softness and sheen that enhances its aesthetic appeal.
The design showcases fluid lines of flowers, trees, and leafy vinery, all rendered with remarkable precision and an incredibly realistic quality. The masterful use of colors adds depth and vibrancy to the intricate patterns, making it a true work of art. Each element of the design is thoughtfully placed, creating a harmonious composition that draws the eye and captivates the viewer.
This rug dates back to the late 19th century, a period known for producing some of the finest Persian rugs. Despite its age, it remains in super great condition, with almost perfect integrity, reflecting the superior craftsmanship and durable materials used in its creation. The exceptional weave, combined with the soft wool and the finest silk, results in a rug that is not only beautiful but also practical and enduring.
The high knot density antique carpets in which Isfahan excelled continued to be woven in the late 19th and 20th-centuries, maintaining the original inspiration and attention to refinement and detail. The finest materials were procured and utilized including silk, lamb’s wool (called kerke), and jewel-toned natural dyes to create collectible, investment-level antique Isfahan rugs.
These Isfahan rugs are also excellent for decorative purposes, employing soft pastel tones, abundant ivory backgrounds, and elegant, delicate design motifs. The final close pile cutting in conjunction with a tightly knotted foundation yield a thin yet strong construction and highly resolute, clear carpet patterns.
The finest Isfahan rugs are rarely surpassed in the realm of intricate, innovative, gentle swirling embellishments and stained glass-like, luminous dye-work.
