This Persian Isfahan rug features a central lobed medallion in navy and rose, anchored on an ivory field. The field is intricately decorated with an "Islimi" or scrolling vine and arabesque pattern, interspersed with delicate floral palmettes and cloud band motifs. Four corner spandrels in a contrasting salmon hue echo the central medallion's floral complexity. The composition is framed by a wide "Shah Abbasi" floral border on a dark navy ground, flanked by multiple geometric and floral guard bands. The fine execution of the curvilinear patterns and the delicate color palette are characteristic of high-quality weaving centers in Central Iran.
