Isfahan Rugs Persian Rugs Shoreshi Isfahan Rug

Older Shoreshi Shoreshi Isfahan Rug

Size: 3 foot 9 inch by 5 foot 6 inch.

This is an older rug from one of the legendary Persian workshops. I recently had the chance to acquire the collection of an old friend who has decided to return to his home in Iran. He attributed this beautiful older Isfahan Carpet to the Shoreshi work shop. This rug is fine. The back is very even and shows the signs of the best workshop production.

Shoreshi was one of the great workshops of Isfahan. It is one of the earlier workshops and was instrumental in the Isphahan revival in the early part of this century. This rug appears to date from the mid 20th century so that would have put this in the Shoreshi workshops latter period. This rug has the traditional wool pile but has silk warps which is generally attributed to 1925 or latter. Please note the implied secondary medallion. The artist who designed this so that the floral elements create the outline of a secondary medallion or an implied secondary medallion as I call it.
