Isfahan
rugs fit into my "Persian Rugs the O'Connell
Guides" section as a group of related rugs of rugs
centering around the city of Isfahan and in Isfahan
province. These rug are predominantly woven by weavers
who speak Persian and who are Shia Moslems.Workshops are
the main impetus with even the lesser work copying the
greater.
What is an Isfahan?
That rather depends what year it is. As I look
over the group I see it in terms of:
There are of course the great Isfahans carpets
of the sixteenth century.The other major group
are the Isfahans of the 20th century. In The
Persian Carpet Cecil Edwards
indicated that he thought Isfahan date to only
about 1919 as a major weaving center. Enough
credible people have dated Isfahans to 1900 or
earlier that I must to assume that pre1920
is the product of a "minor weaving
center". So for now I will hold with the
breakdown I have now.

Over the years I have come to know Oriental
Rug dealers all the world and I recommend many of
them in my Trusted
Resource List.
For Good New Persian Isfahan Rugs
at very good prices see my friends at
www.RugMan.com. For other sources or for
older and antique rugs or if you just want my
advice or input please feel free to give me a
call. By the way Isfahan rugs can range from
modest prices all the way up to and over $600 per
square foot for the best examples from master
workshops such as those of the Haghighi and
Seirafian Families. While most people want
attractive rugs for their floors I can usually
help you find authentic masterpieces or help you
authenticate the masterpieces that you already
own.
Best wishes,
