Isfahan Medallion Ivory Red

Isfahan has for centuries occupied the apex of Persian weaving culture — its carpets, produced in the royal workshops of Shah Abbas and continuing through master weavers of the Safavid tradition, are synonymous with structural refinement, chromatic restraint, and an almost architectural precision in floral draftsmanship.

This hand-knotted bamboo silk piece renders the quintessential Isfahan medallion composition on a luminous ivory field: a densely worked central rosette of deep navy and crimson unfurls into cascading Shah Abbasi palmettes and sinuous arabesque scrollwork, the organic rhythm of the vine fill punctuated by delicate dusty-rose floral clusters and antique gold arabesques.

Crimson spandrels anchor each corner with characteristic Persian quartered geometry, while the multi-band border deploys a principal floral meander flanked by fine reciprocal-vine guard stripes — a treatment that frames without competing. Offered as a bespoke, made-to-order commission in sizes ranging from 3×5 ft to 12×18 ft, this piece is woven in bamboo silk that lends the palette a cool, satin luminosity distinct from wool or traditional silk. It carries the composed authority of a classical Persian interior piece — equally at home in a formal reception room or as a collector's acquisition where provenance of design lineage matters as much as material quality.
