Persian Isfahan Silk & Wool Rug ("Ivory Mihrab & Crimson Arch Sanctuary")

This magnificent Persian Isfahan rug showcases sacred architectural iconography through a beautifully proportioned prayer arch (Mihrab) layout. Set within a luminous ivory niche framed by navy-blue spandrels at the top, the central field features a rich crimson-red central medallion surrounded by perching songbirds, scrolling arabesques (Islimi), and delicate floral sprays. Below the medallion, an ornate pedestal vase grounds the composition, while a master signature cartouche is woven into the bottom outer guard band. Framing the inner arch is a multi-tiered border system headlined by a vibrant crimson-red main track laden with repeating floral palmettes and vine-work.

The classical, regal color palette combines a warm cream-ivory ground with deep crimson, midnight navy, slate blue, and soft champagne accents. Expertly woven with fine silk highlights embedded in a premium wool pile to achieve crisp design definition and a subtle sheen, and finished with clean off-white fringe along the ends, this signed unframed masterpiece brings sacred courtly heritage and timeless elegance to distinguished interiors.
