17th Century Antique Indo-Persian Isfahan Large Carpet

This exquisite carpet, likely originating from Agra, India, rather than Isfahan, Persia, is a genuine Period piece from the 17th century Mughal era. The lac red field showcases a distinctive allover pattern of cloud bands, sickle leaves, palmettes, and vinery, framed by an abrashed dark green main border featuring palmettes embraced by barbed lancet leaves.  

The rug boasts a wide and sophisticated color palette, including numerous shades of green, straw, cream, and blue accents, woven on a cotton foundation. It represents professional, urban, classical craftsmanship, characterized by exceptional quality and precision.
