Isfahan carpet

Isfahan carpet.

One of the finest Isfahan carpets we have ever seen! Woven by the master weaver workshop - Azarchi in Isfahan, the detail is simply remarkable. Woven on a silk foundation with silk highlights.  The colour palette of this carpet was very expensive to produce, the pistachio green dye is beautiful and very costly.  This carpet was woven around 15 years ago and would have taken 2-3 years to weave.

A rare exquisite carpet that are becoming increasingly rare.

Isfahan is situated virtually in the centre of Iran, and was once the capital city. The rugs are woven in the city itself and the surrounding villages. Starting in the early 17th century, their name was renowned throughout Europe – this has continued to the present day. Although rug making was interrupted by the Afghan invasion, it quickly re-established itself as a major centre for the finest handmade carpets. This example show cases why Isfahan are famous for weaving the most detailed, beautiful fine carpets.
