Isfahan, 10ft 9in x 13ft 8in, Circa 1925.  Fluid tracery and painstaking attention to detail lend great distinction to this formal court carpet of the well-loved Isfahan style. Jewel-like hues of ruby and sapphire draw the eye to its elegant central medallion, as a swirling profusion of nuanced vinery fills the surrounding reserve. Soft sand and sky blue bring additional refinement to its brilliantly harmonious naturally dyed palette, imparting a subdued majesty to the composition.
