Vintage Persian Isfahan Room Size Carpet

A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. An ecru border of in-and-out petal palmettes and flowing, smooth teardrop botehs frames a red field displaying an allover pattern of paired up-and-down barbed sickle leaves, concave diamonds, rosettes, and small ragged palmettes. The design is organized within a three-level arabesquerie, with a subtle triaxial structure.
