Isfahan rugs are among the most exquisite and highly sought-after Persian carpets, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, intricate designs, and vibrant colors. Originating from the city of Isfahan in central Iran, these rugs have a rich history dating back to the Safavid dynasty (16th to 18th centuries), a period when Persian art and culture flourished.

Typically handwoven using high-quality wool, silk, or a combination of both, Isfahan rugs are distinguished by their fine knot density, often exceeding 500 knots per square inch, which allows for intricate and detailed patterns. Common motifs include central medallions, floral designs, arabesques, and depictions of nature, all framed by elaborate borders. The color palette often features rich tones like deep blues, reds, ivory, and gold.
