Isfahan / Esfahan Antique Rugs and Carpets

Nazmiyal

Isfahans or Esfahans, claim a very proud tradition among Persian carpets going back to Safavid times in the seventeenth century. Isfahan was then the capital of Persia and many of the court quality carpets of this period that survive today have been attributed to Isfahan. There designs consist of sublimely delicate patterns of arabesque tendrils, palmettes, and cloudbands in rich magentas, blues, and saffron golds. Nineteenth and early twentieth century antique Isfahan rugs continued the style and consummate technical virtuosity of their classical forerunners, although often with a softer, more decorative palette.
