From the city and province of Isfahan come some of the finest Persian carpets. Isfahan carpets show fine detail, wether the pile is made of wool or silk, and also the foundation is often made of pure silk. The design of Isfahan rugs is very symmetrical, frequently a single medallion is surrounded with floral vines. Tree-of-life schemes are also a common pattern. The Isfahan weavers use Persian knots. Popular colors are blue, rose, indigo, and ivory for the background. Especially antique Isfahans can also show bright red tones. |
