Isfahan Rug - 237x158 cm

In the middle of Iran with the Zagros Mountains on the left and the desert on the right is the city of Isfahan. Today it is an important industrial city with a population of 2.1million. A large number of workshops can be found in the city and in the surrounding area. Many of them have a worldwide reputation, such as Seirafian, Davodie, mervie and shah abadie. The patterns are often inspired by the mosque tile works, from the gardens of the cities and palaces. Isfahan carpets are of high class when it comes to the composition of the patterns, materials and designs. They are characterized by thin carpets with an extremely high knot density (Shah Abbas pattern) but figural motifs also occur. Isfahan Persian carpets / Esfahan Persian carpets
