Esfahan / 10184

This Esfahan in wool shows an ivory field densely articulated with scrolling floral vines and palmettes, framed by a navy and red floral cartouche border. The restrained colour range and meticulous floral motifing create a tactile surface with calm rhythm. The wool fibre exhibits low wear and a gentle abrash that lends discreet depth to the field while borders remain crisply defined. At 366 x 488 cm the piece reads as both measured and intricate, a composition that foregrounds craft and time. An antique rug with quiet presence and considered detail. Circa 1950 - 1970
