Esfahan / 11686

Esfahan in wool, an ivory ground enlivened by a cobalt and navy central medallion and intricate floral arabesques. The composition pairs a radiating medallion with delicate scrolling vines and multiple floral guard borders in cream and beige that define the whole. The palette is measured and refined, blue accents set against neutral grounds with only the subtlest patina. Condition is low distress with an even pile and intact fringe, the hand of the weave remaining tactile and precise; it reads naturally as an antique rug with restrained age. Circa 1950 - 1970. Exact measurement: 206 x 312 cm.
