A hand-knotted Persian carpet from Isfahan / Esfahan (Maimeh Isfahan) No. 1934, 326x224 cm, is a particularly high-quality oriental carpet from the historic carpet center of Isfahan in Iran. Here are the typical characteristics and a description of what makes such a carpet special.
Isfahan (or Esfahan) is a city in central Iran, known for its excellent carpet weaving.
"Maimeh Isfahan" could refer to a local variant or a specific style/studio within Isfahan. Maimeh could be a place name or a pattern name. High-quality virgin wool is usually used, occasionally with silk elements such as silk warp (the ground net).
Natural materials are also used for dyeing—plant-based or mineral dyes.
The base (warp and weft) is often made of cotton or silk, depending on the quality.
