Rugs
Among the finest handmade carpets ever made,
Isfahan rugs are the pinnacle of the Persian
carpet. In an enchanted city, renowned for its
taste and finesse, these carpets are of great
delicacy and utmost intricacy. The city of
Isfahan holds pride of place in the Persian rug
industry because of its rich history and
reputation dating back to the 16th century. Most
Isfahan carpets are finely detailed in wool and
silk, often on a base of pure silk. Until the
middle of the 20th century colors were mostly
stronger, like bold reds and blues on the
ubiquitous beige. But later comes the visible
influence of the international Designer, with
more subdued ranges of subtler colors. Still, at
the sight of curvilinear vines snaking over an
elegant field around an exquisite medallion,
especially if the long fringes glisten silkily
from magnificent borders, the word 'Isfahan'
tends to spring to one's lips. Patterns include
pictorial and tree-of-life schemes, as well as
the Shah Abbas field with its floral vines.
