This piece measures 145 cm wide by 217 cm long.
Decor of great finesse, medallion, field and very sophisticated border for this type of Persian considered to be the finest carpets found in Iran.
The colors of natural origin mix deep reds, burgundy, blue and ivory, creating contrasts with striking blues.
The decoration of this room takes up traditional colors and floral motifs that appear in 16th and 17th century carpets and in mosques, on ancient ceramics from the Safavid period.
## One easily recognizes in the interlacing palms, lotus flowers, almond blossoms often tied on these carpets.
The border is very sophisticated, so much the arrangement of the interlacing of palms, blue and burgundy mingles alternately with lotus flowers.
The interior and exterior braids are adorned with small flowers and meanders, motifs used in Persia (Iran) and Turkey.
The design of the central medallion, fitted, is specific to these carpets with elegant extensions in large pendants like blue halberds, accompanied by pendants, and the curve of the motifs in the corners testify to great research.
Pile, edges, fringes in perfect condition.
We find substantially the same medallions among the ancient Kachan and Tabriz of the same period.
We have great difficulty in imagining the infinite patience that was needed yesterday and that is needed today for the creation of such beautiful pieces.
This type of carpet proves to us the artistic, fine, precise and acute sense of the craftsmen of Isfahan.
The most beautiful carpets in the world often remain in terms of decoration, finish and beauty of the wool, the Ispahan. Isfahan, is the great city of art in Iran, even today.
Under the reign of Shah Abbas, the fame of this city in the artistic sector was of the greatest importance.
This city has produced some very great artists, and some of the finest rugs in the world.
This rug has been professionally and environmentally cleaned.
