Isfahan rugs are another type of Persian rug that is made in the
city of Isfahan in Iran. Iran is the home of Persian rugs so it is unsurprising
that there are so many cities and villages that have created their own designs
and styles for the Persian rug.
It was not until the 1920s that rug weaving was actually taken
seriously by the Isfahan people but the minute that they started, they became
one of the most popular and sought after all over Iran. In fact, they are now
one of the most popular types of Persian rugs and carpets all over the world.
They are also commonly known as Polish rugs to the Western world due to the use
of silk and the intricate designs.
The designs on the Isfahan rugs are often very intricate vines that
surround a single medallion in the center. The vines are all symmetrical and
extremely detailed. A variety of colors are used and the vines are generally
made with a deep and bold color. The background is usually a lighter color so
that the design and pattern can really stand out. The colors are often very
compatible with Western color schemes, which is what makes them so popular all
around the world. They are able to fit almost any décor and there is something
for most personal tastes.
Rather than using wool, the Isfahan rugs are made from a silk or a
cotton base. This makes them a little more expensive but also less durable.
Wool is place on top and it is always very high quality wool. The wool makes
the rug a little more durable to daily wear and tear. The wool is high quality
and thick, which helps to keep a room warm in the winter months and cold
nights.
Many stores sell the Isfahan rugs, most commonly the department
stores in the Western world. There are also a number of smaller stores all over
the Eastern world that stock Isfahan rugs because they are so popular with
natives and tourists alike. A number of Internet companies have opened up to
sell the popular Isfahan designs but it is important to find a company that is
trustworthy so that you know you are buying authentic Isfahan rugs and not the
copies that some companies prefer to produce. The copies will not be hand-made
and will be much lower in quality.
