An ivory field carrying a large radiating medallion built from concentric rings of tiny palmettes and rosettes, surrounded by dense scrolling arabesque in navy, rose, sage and wine. Pale blue-grey spandrels fill the corners, and a wide dove-grey main border of flowering vine frames the whole, backed by several narrow guard bands. Woven into the outer band at one end is a cartouche reading Esfahān, Yazdāni, flanked by a small Iranian tricolour in green, white and red.
Hand-knotted in wool at a very fine gauge, fully curvilinear throughout. The palette is soft and cool where most Isfahans run to strong red or indigo, and the drawing is correspondingly delicate — with less colour contrast to work with, the design depends on the precision of the outlines. At 208×308cm this is a large room rug, big enough for a full seating group or a dining table with chairs pulled out. The ivory field is elegant but will show traffic more readily than a dark rug would.
