Why buy an Isfahan rug?

Isfahan, the jewel of Persian architecture and culture, is renowned for its exquisite handwoven silk carpets, masterpieces that echo centuries of tradition, craftsmanship, and elegance.

We proudly offer a curated collection of Persian rugs from Isfahan, woven with a luxurious blend of silk and wool. Each piece is a work of art, crafted by skilled weavers using time-honored techniques. These rugs take months, sometimes years, to complete, resulting in shimmering designs that bring timeless beauty to any space.

Every rug comes with a certificate of authenticity and detailed technical information, empowering you to choose with confidence. Whether you’re a collector or a first-time buyer, our commitment to quality and transparency ensures a meaningful experience.

Each piece is appraised, ready to ship worldwide, and destined to become a cherished part of your home or collection.

Discover the elegance of Isfahan, woven into every thread.

Loom:

The loom is the wooden frame used to weave the carpet. In Persian hand-knotting, vertical looms are commonly used, especially in urban workshops like those in Isfahan.

Each silk strand is tied by hand, row by row, and pressed down with a comb-like tool. This process requires patience, precision, and years of experience.

Persian rugs design and material:

Designs: Inspired by ancient architecture, Persian gardens, medallions, and poetry.

Silk Pile: Offers a glossy, soft finish with vibrant colors.

Wool Pile: Wool pile in rugs, crafted from fine sheep wool, offers exceptional durability that beautifully complements and highlights the delicate sheen of silk accents.

Each Isfahan carpet tells a story, from the weaver’s memory, family legacy, or spiritual belief.

“Raj” or “Warp Count”:

Raj is the unit used to count the number of warps per 7 centimeters (around 2.75 inches) on the rug. A higher Raj or Warp Count number means a finer, denser, and more intricate carpet.

Single Knot:

A refined technique using one knot per warp thread, ideal for intricate, high-density designs. Favored by Isfahan weavers for silk rugs to preserve delicate detail.

Double Knot:

Wrapped around two warp threads, this method creates thicker, more durable carpets, perfect for bold patterns and everyday resilience.

Zones of an Isfahan rug:

Isfahan rugs are skillfully woven with a luxurious blend of silk and wool, with each material strategically chosen for specific areas of the design. The rug’s intricate design is composed of distinct sections: a central background, marginal background, the floral pattern, and a border zone. The fringes are an extension of the rug’s warp threads.
