Hand-knotted in fine wool on a cotton foundation, this vintage Persian Isfahan rug, circa 1980, presents an intricate allover arrangement of scrolling vines, palmettes and flowering branches across a warm ivory field. Deep navy and cranberry red are balanced by pale aqua, muted green and touches of warm tan, while a richly patterned red border and delicate aqua guard borders frame the composition. Finely woven and beautifully preserved in mint condition, the rug combines the precision of Persian workshop weaving with a graceful, highly usable palette.
