Quite unlike any other Persian Isfahan rug (also spelled Esfahan) we have seen, this quiet, yet incredibly vital Oriental carpet offers a lush profusion of nuanced botanical motifs. Gentle waves of abrash (purposeful color striation) wash across the surface, adding a welcome sense of movement and depth to the swirling vinery and intricate blossoms, finely articulated in time-softened jewel tones. This 120-year-old Persian rug's deeply harmonious sand and earth tone palette and artfully integrated botanical artistry achieve a serenity that would add texture and integrity to a decor in a way modern handwoven cannot begin to approach. Although this superb representative of the Persian City rug-making tradition is well over 100 years old, it is in outstanding condition.
