About This Isfahan
Where it comes from
Isfahan rugs stand at the top of Persian city weaving, made in workshops from a drawn plan rather than from memory, and this one measures 227 x 159 cm (7'5" x 5'3"). Isfahan takes its name from the city the Persians once called half the world, and its weavers built a tradition of floral gardens set out with the same mathematical clarity as the city's mosques. What this piece is known for, in short, is precision drawn as if it were natural.
What you see
The ground is ivory, and into it is set a dense scrolling vine of small blossoms, fine enough that the field reads as texture before it reads as pattern. Out of this rises a stepped medallion in brick red and navy, its pendant spandrels floral, and near it sits a small dark shape, urn-like, that breaks the otherwise even repeat of the vine. The border returns to brick red, wide and equally dense with scrolling flowers and navy accents, so that the calm ivory field is held firmly between two bands of much stronger colour.
How it was made
That density is only possible because the warp is silk rather than wool. Silk spins far thinner than wool, so more knots fit into the same square metre, and here the count runs to 800,000–1,000,000 per square metre, a range that puts this rug among the finest produced anywhere. It is what allows a vine this small and a line this clean to be knotted at all rather than merely drawn. The pile itself is wool lifted with silk, clipped to six millimetres, which is what gives the surface its light sheen without softening the outlines, and the piece carries the workshop's own signature.
At home
A rug this finely drawn wants to be seen properly, which makes it a good match for a living room, set where a sofa group looks down onto it rather than passed over quickly in a hall. The ivory ground lifts a room with dark furniture and keeps its composure against pale floors alike, while the red medallion and border hold their own without shouting. Underfoot it is dense, firm and even, built for a room that is lived in rather than reserved for best. As daylight moves across it through the day, the slight sheen in the pile shifts with it, and the small urn beside the medallion is the detail you keep finding again.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 227 × 159 cm (3.61 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 800,000 to 1,000,000 knots per square metre; across 3.61 m² that is roughly 2.9 to 3.6 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
This pile contains silk and is more delicate than pure wool. Vacuum without a rotating brush and along the pile, do not beat it, and keep it out of permanent direct sun. Blot spills at once with a light cloth, never rub. For a proper clean a silk-blend rug belongs in expert hands — we handle that for pieces bought from us.
