This magnificent Safavid Isfahan carpet, woven in the mid-17th century, is nothing short of a textile masterpiece—a rare survivor from one of the most artistically rich periods in Persian history. Crafted with part-cotton threads and white cotton highlights, it radiates an almost celestial brilliance, as if touched by the hands of royal artisans. Its deep madder field, alive with intricate floral scrolls and mythic symmetry, seems to pulse with the soul of Isfahan’s golden age. The deep indigo border, densely packed with stylized palmettes and vine scrolls, frames the composition like a jeweled setting. Worn gracefully with time, the carpet bears the noble scars of time—corrosion, wear, and masterful restorations that only deepen its character. Lined and preserved, it stands as both artifact and art, a woven epic of elegance and endurance.
