This early 20th-century Persian Isfahan rug is a bold and distinctive example of one of Iran’s most esteemed weaving traditions—yet with a twist. Departing from the city’s classical central-medallion format, this piece features an uncommon all-over design that covers the entire field with intricate, interconnected floral and arabesque motifs.

The color palette is vibrant yet refined: a deep red field paired with striking turquoise accents creates a dynamic visual rhythm, enhanced by the fine weave and precise detailing. The composition feels structured and elegant but carries the energy of movement—evidence of a designer who sought beauty outside the expected formula.

Woven with high-quality wool on a cotton foundation and dyed using natural pigments, this rug combines durability with a luminous surface texture. Its fine weave allows for crisp drawing and fluid curves, hallmarks of Isfahan’s classical craftsmanship.

In perfect condition, this rare example is ideal for collectors or designers looking to anchor a space with a rug that is both historically rooted and artistically daring.
