Esfahan / 19859

This Esfahan antique rug, measuring 3' 7" x 5' 7", presents a pictorial field animated with layered figural scenes and scrolling floral detail. A rich blue border frames the composition, while ivory ground, brown, rust, grey, and touches of soft green create a grounded, nuanced palette. The design feels refined yet expressive, with a lively balance between ornament and movement. Circa 1950 - 1965, the wool surface shows low distress and gentle age-related softening that complement the clarity of the drawing. The result is a rug with presence, depth, and an accomplished decorative language.
