Recognizing an Isfahan Rug
An Isfahan rug normally has an ivory background with motifs that include colors of blue, rose and indigo. The designs are symmetrical and balanced, usually with vines or palmettos that surround a single medallion. The rugs are knotted on cotton or silk foundations, and the pile is of exceptionally good quality, such as Kurk wool. The pile is clipped very low, and the modern versions of the rugs more pastel. The rugs have an extremely high knot density, and the knots are what is known as a Sennah knot.
Typical Patterns
Traditional rugs from the region have patterns of medallions surrounded by palms or vines. Shah Abbas patterns include arabesque, palmettes and lotus motifs, and is a pattern developed during the rule of Shah Abbas. It is believed that the design is based on the famous Emam mosque. It is a common pattern in the region, although other countries, such as India, China and Pakistan copy the style. Rugs from Esfahan are often recognizable due to their delicate patterns and for the high concentration of knots that create the pattern in the rug. Other patterns common to the region include the Vase, Tree of Life and other pictorial designs.
