Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A warm gold field carrying a lobed medallion in navy and gold with pendants at either end, surrounded by dense scrolling arabesque in navy, wine, cream and sage. Deep navy spandrels fill the corners, and a wide brick-red main border of flowering vine frames the whole, backed by cream and navy guard bands. Woven into the outer band at one end is a cartouche reading bāft-e Irān — Esfahān, Sirafian, with a small Iranian tricolour beside it.

Hand-knotted in wool at a very fine gauge, fully curvilinear throughout. The three zones — gold field, navy spandrels, red border — are each a different hue as well as a different value, which is a bolder arrangement than the tonal Isfahans and gives the rug real presence for its size. At 160×230cm this is a compact rug, suited to a study, a bedroom or in front of a fireplace, where a room-sized piece would be too much. Signed Sirafian, Isfahan.

This is a fine, hand-knotted piece that rewards a little extra care. 100% wool pile with a natural fringe at both ends, signed by the Sirafian workshop of Isfahan.

A gold ground is mid-toned rather than pale, so it hides everyday marks better than cream would. Yellow dyes are among the least light-fast of any colour, so keep this rug away from a sunny window. Take particular care of the signature cartouche at the end, and note that a small rug concentrates its wear rather than spreading it, so a rug pad and regular rotation matter more here than on a room-sized piece.

The cartouche in the outer band at one end reads bāft-e Irān — Esfahān, Sirafian, with a woven Iranian tricolour beside it. Look for it along the narrow band just above the fringe. What distinguishes this rug from the larger Isfahans is that it works in three distinct hues rather than in shades of one. Gold field, navy spandrels, red border — each is a different colour, not merely a different value, and each occupies a clearly bounded zone. That is a bolder arrangement than the tonal approach, and it is a sensible one at this size: a small rug seen mostly at close range can carry strong divisions that would feel restless across four metres, and the gold field keeps its presence in a room where a paler ground would simply read as a light patch on the floor. The medallion is the lobed type, drawn as a single outlined shape and filled, rather than the concentric radiating kind.
