Isfahan was once one of the largest and most important cities in Central Asia, positioned as it is on the crossroads of the main north-south and east-west trade routes that cross Central Asia. The city was the splendid capital of the Seljuq and Safavid dynasties, and is renowned for its beauty, which has given rise to the Iranian saying that “Isfahan is half the world”.

The weavers who work on these rugs use a wide palette of bold colors in their work but the predominant colors that are featured include indigo, bright red and deep blue on a background of ivory.

The designs of these rugs are symmetrical and balanced, with palmettos and vines surrounding a single distinct medallion.

A highly durable carpet that can be used in a high foot traffic area of the home or under a table and chairs in a dining room.

This is a bulky rug weighing around a 100 pounds. Shipping will be $99 within the continental U.S.
