Persian Isfahan Silk & Wool Rug ("Ivory & Slate Vine All-Over Shah Abbasi")

This distinguished Persian Isfahan rug showcases the quintessential balance and refined linear grace of classical Safavid design. Set against a bright, luminous ivory central field, the composition features an open all-over lattice of spiraling dark slate-and-charcoal arabesques (Islimi), blooming Shah Abbasi palmettes, and fine botanical tendrils anchored around a delicate central flowerhead. A weaver's master signature cartouche is prominently woven into the bottom outer guard border. Encasing the open field is a multi-tiered border system featuring an ivory main track adorned with repeating palmette motifs, scrolling vines, and crisp guard bands.

The restrained, highly sophisticated monochrome-inspired palette harmonizes a rich cream-ivory ground with charcoal slate, deep cocoa brown, taupe, and subtle metallic gold accents. Expertly woven with fine silk highlights embedded within a premium wool pile to achieve ultra-sharp design definition and a subtle sheen, and finished with clean off-white fringe along the top and bottom ends, this signed unframed luxury piece offers understated elegance for modern and traditional interiors alike.
