In the heart of Iran lies the city of Isfahan, the former capital of Persia during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1736). It is often referred to as the most elegant and beautiful city in the country and is home to some of the best weavers in the country. Carpets from Isfahan are probably among the most valuable hand-knotted Persian carpets in the world.
A combination of probably the best properties of sheep's wool and pure silk. The natural wool is characterized by its high durability, dirt-repellent properties and thermal insulation. At the same time, the silk content creates a unique shine that seems to glow from the right angle.
Carpets from Isfahan are considered to be the finest of all Persian carpets. The carpets are characterized by a knot density of over 800.000 knots per square meter. They are made of high-quality wool and silk and feature elaborate detailed patterns. The design of these carpets is mostly inspired by the impressive mosques and squares of the city of the same name. A craft that can only be carried out by the most experienced master weavers.
The colors of this rug vary depending on which side it is viewed from. This means that the carpet has a light and a dark side because of the location of the pile. You can play with this visible effect and decide in advance where the light side of the carpet should be visible.
