Ecru Ground Isfahan

The city of Isfahan is located in the centre of Iran at the foothills of the Zagros mountain range and has a rich history in carpet production. An architecturally stunning city, Isfahan is known for its fine carpets as well as textiles, fine art, handicrafts, metal-workings, and traditional Persian food. Isfahan rugs are knotted on either silk or cotton foundations, with a tightly woven pile using exceptionally good quality and soft wool. The most popular design is a central medallion surrounded by vines or flowers which are usually red, blue or indigo on an ivory background. Other popular design elements include vase, garden and tree of life motifs. The inspiration for the rugs’ design comes from traditional motifs and patterns, nature, poetry, and the rich architectural history of Isfahan.
