Persian Isfahan Large Oversize – Wool – Allover Design – Approx 4.5x3m (15x10ft) Neutral complexion with cornucopia of coloured palmettes on terracotta red base

a fine, ornate Persian Isfahan large carpet, also recognisable as oversize, handwoven from wool in Iran. A wonderfiul revivalist interpretation of the 16th Persian ‘Vase’ design. The city of origin is woven into the design in inscription cartouches among playful wild Cheetahs, an animal native to Iran and once domesticated by the nobility as house pets. Such border inscriptions identifying origin are unusual. The allover design provides neutral complexion with cornucopia of polychrome palmettes on a characteristic terracotta red base ground favoured in ‘Revivalist’ urban weavings woven to appeal to western markets.
