Vintage Persian Isfahan Carpet

The cream-straw field displays a central crenelated 16-point red medallion with a blue octagonal sub-medallion.  Blue and red concave flaming en suite corners. Main arabesque level in the field hosts larger palmettes while the lighter, more receding vinery shows smaller ones. Palmette and flower border. Very fine and even urban weave, “kurk” wool pile, crisp and clear drawing, velvety surface. Totally formal.
