The beautiful large hand knotted wool and silk rug is from Isfahan, Iran. The wool yarn used in the pile is soft and lustrous, and given strength by the fibers being tightly packed together by such close weaving. As such, the pattern is very sharp and clearly defined. The silk highlights of the design catch the light and enhance the rug's beauty as you walk across the carpet. The close weave allows for the fibre to stand more vertical, prolongs the expectancy of the carpet and any marks or stains to be held on the top surface of the carpet if they cannot be cleaned off, they will eventually wear away. The rug primarily incorporates curvilinear, floral, and classical antique designs such as scrolls, vine works with sickle leaves and lacing patterns. The color palette has a rich wine red and blue ground accented by light colors and a rich ivory setting. The delicate motif design and flashy visual aesthetic make this carpet stand out from other carpets. The carpet features of high detail, unique design, royal lineage and rarity associated with Isfahan rugs continue to keep them in high demand. See less
