- 19th Century Persian Isfahan CarpetThis early Isfahan carpet was created before the commercialization of the traditional workshop weaving of the 1920s.

The overall drawing is restrained in comparison to the traditional central medallion motif. Isfahan, the ancient capital of Persia, was the creative hub of amazing Persian art and textiles during the 17th-century Safavid period and Isfahan rugs lay claim to this proud tradition. Many of the court-quality carpets that survive today are attributed to Isfahan.This antique Isfahan carpet has minor age-related wear together with overall muted tones which offer a discreet elegance, allowing it to blend in wonderfully in a historic or tasteful setting. In good very good practical condition for everyday use.£14,800.00In stock

OUR STORY
LORFORDS HAS BEEN A CONTINUALLY EVOLVING PROJECT SINCE 2001...
Toby Lorford escaped London and the trappings of broadcast and PR at the end of the 90s, slowly following his father's footsteps in buying and selling old things. By 2003 the first Lorfords Antiques shop was trading in Tetbury... two years later Lorfords moved into its home at 30 Long Street and has never looked back.
