A Persian Isfahan rug is a type of luxurious handmade rug originating from the Isfahan Province in Iran, a renowned weaving center. These exquisite rugs are crafted with high-quality wool pile on a cotton or silk foundation, often featuring silk accents throughout the pile. Characterized by intricate patterns and designs, Isfahan rugs typically showcase floral and arabesque motifs inspired by the city's stunning architecture. With a high knot density, sometimes 500 to 700 knots per square inch, these rugs are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the weavers. Boasting a vibrant yet balanced color palette, Isfahan rugs often feature rich reds, deep blues, and striking ivories, making them a true masterpiece of Persian artistry.
