About the Item

Designs found in contemporary rugs from Isfahan in central Iran are based on those seen during the Safavid period (1501 - 1736 AD). The most popular pattern has a central circular medallion on an elegantly sculpted field filled with swirling floral vinery . Kork wool, considered amongst the best, is used for the pile which is close cropped. The foundations are often silk, which enables the weaver to utilize a higher knot count, providing greater detail to the elements. This example has a pictorial pattern with a woman in a landscape flanked by inscriptions from Omak Khayyam within a jade border filled with birds amongst floral vinery. 441 knots per square inch. 3' 3" x 2' 5".
