This Persian Isfahan rug showcases the refined artistry that defines classic court-style weaving. Featuring a deep navy field anchored by an ornate brick red medallion, the design is balanced by flowing floral vines and finely drawn palmettes. The composition is elegant, symmetrical, and richly detailed, making it well suited for formal living spaces, dining rooms, or refined offices.
Design and Motifs
The field is densely decorated with scrolling floral tendrils, lotus blossoms, and stylized leaves arranged around a central medallion. The medallion itself is layered with ivory and soft gold accents, creating depth and visual movement. Classic Isfahan symmetry is maintained throughout, with mirrored motifs extending seamlessly toward the borders.
Border and Framing
A wide rich crimson red main border frames the rug, filled with repeating floral cartouches and vine work. Multiple guard borders in ivory and muted gold tones soften the transition between the field and the outer frame, lending structure without overpowering the central design.
