Vintage Persian Hunting Isfahan Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

79166 Vintage Persian Hunting Scene Isfahan Rug, 03'07 x 05'02. In the impeccable weave of this hand-knotted, vintage Persian Isfahan rug, the epic grandeur of signature Safavid storytelling comes to life—a masterpiece of exceptional artistry and timelessness. Woven with exquisite precision, this one-of-a-kind treasure evokes the majestic pageantry of royal hunts, once held in the verdant courts of Persia’s golden age. On an ivory-hued field of refined luster, an imperial chase gallops forth: noble horsemen, clad in courtly finery, thunder across the scene with bows drawn, lances extended, and wild beasts caught in dynamic flight. It is a vision of extraordinary power, elegance, and ritual—an homage to the heritage of a bygone era. Each rider, creature, and blossom is rendered with painterly grace and meticulous detail, a testament to the artisanal brilliance of Isfahan’s fabled looms. The magnificent composition transcends decoration—it is a curated universe, a living theater where valor and beauty move in harmonious rhythm. Lions prowl beneath cypress trees, gazelles leap between flowering thickets, peacocks strut with noble poise, and leopards crouch mid-sprint. Even ducks glide serenely through glistening waters, undisturbed by the chase above. This extraordinary tableau unites nature and humanity in a celebration of life’s complexity—woven poetry drawn from the threads of legend. Encircling this visual epic is a tailor-made border, not merely a frame, but a whimsical extension of the story—an enchanted garland of stylized, ancient motifs. Watchful deer, leaping antelope, and blooming flora form a rhythmic, protective veil, their forms echoing the eternal dance between man, beast, and the divine order. In each corner, pastoral vignettes offer moments of serene reflection, a visual pause from the vibrant momentum within—an elegant contrast that deepens the soul of the design. Born in the illustrious city of Isfahan—long celebrated as a cradle of preeminent textile artistry—this rug is far more than ornament. It is a precious manuscript woven in wool: a bespoke legacy of courtly splendor, poetic tradition, and unparalleled craftsmanship. With every thread, it carries the voices of poets, the courage of kings, and the hands of master weavers. It is an heirloom of exceptional poise, an elite expression of cultural depth and visual storytelling. To walk upon it is to enter a world of enchantment, where the hunt becomes a hymn, the border a sonnet, and the whole—a luxurious, timeless tribute to Persian genius. This is not simply a rug. It is a radiant, personalized window into the eternal spirit of nobility, artistry, and the enduring allure of the hunt. Abrash. Hand knotted cotton. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'07 x 05'02.

1950's Persian Tabriz Hunting Carpet with Modern Style
Located in Dallas, TX
77353 Vintage Persian Tabriz Rug, 11'00 x 15'03. In this resplendent hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Tabriz hunting rug, a mythic narrative unfolds across a regal composition of color, craftsmanship, and cultural symbolism. At the heart lies a scalloped medallion blooming with florals—lotus blossoms signifying rebirth, lilies whispering of purity, and rosettes circling like celestial constellations around a dark indigo center. This elaborate medallion anchors the visual rhythm of the piece, drawing the viewer into a timeless world where artistry and storytelling become one. Surrounding the medallion is a magnificent rust-hued field alive with aristocratic riders astride galloping steeds, poised mid-hunt amid a garden of earthly delights. With arrows drawn and regal posture, these noble figures evoke a sense of valor and refinement from Persian courtly traditions. Deer leap and bound through the landscape, symbols of grace, gentleness, and fleeting beauty, while paradise birds perch delicately within the flora—emissaries of heaven and harbingers of spiritual bliss. Each animal is rendered with care, not as decoration alone, but as a living thread in the fabric of a storied garden. Interwoven throughout the field is a verdant array of botanical motifs, each carrying its own symbolic weight. Hyacinths suggest regeneration, tulips prosperity, and peonies an echo of strength and power. Pomegranates, split open and brimming with seeds, embody fertility and life’s abundance, while delicate blossoms and curling vines meander like arabesque poetry across the terrain. Saz leaves and acanthus scrolls provide the baroque flourish of classical Persian garden design, transforming the field into a cultivated wilderness of movement and meaning. The corner spandrels mirror the central field, with muted mint backdrops densely packed with flowering stems and gracefully leaping deer, extending the sense of harmony and echoing the symmetry prized in Persian aesthetics. These spaces act as serene interludes between the fervent energy of the hunt and the stately stillness of the border, softening the composition while enriching its narrative depth. Encircling the entire scene is a radiant floral border set against a pale yellow backdrop, anchored wit eight-pointed rosette stars alternating with ornate palmettes and peony that serve as both spiritual and ornamental punctuation. Blooming tulips and stylized saz foliage arc and weave between arabesque scrolls, culminating in a final embrace of the inner tableau. This Tabriz hunting carpet...
