Isfahan · circa 1980

Isfahan carpet, kork wool and silk

Price on request

302 × 205 cm · 9′11″ × 6′9″

An Isfahan of real finesse: flowering vines drawn in pale blue and green across an ivory ground, the line work traced in silk so the pattern catches light as it turns. The knotting is fine enough that the curves read as drawn rather than stepped.

Workshop weaving of this order is unforgiving — every stem must resolve, every border corner must turn correctly — and this piece does so without stiffness. Quietly virtuosic, and very easy to live with.

Each piece is one of one, acquired personally on your behalf. Online acquisitions open with the release of our inaugural collection; enquiries are welcomed now. Fully insured delivery within the United Kingdom and Europe.
