Persian Hand-Knotted Medallion Rug Rust Field Shah Abbas Design

This hand-knotted Persian medallion carpet features a classic central medallion design with intricate Shah Abbas palmettes densely covering the rust-colored field. The central medallion displays multiple concentric borders with radiating floral patterns, complemented by four matching corner spandrels that mirror the medallion's design elements. The cream and beige outer field contains secondary floral motifs that enhance the overall composition. Multiple elaborate guard borders frame the piece, including palmette and vine patterns, geometric rosettes, and connecting elements that demonstrate skilled craftsmanship. The color palette combines rich rust tones with cream, navy, and subtle rose accents throughout the intricate pattern work. The high knot density and precise pattern execution indicate workshop production with consistent quality throughout the weaving.

Mid to late 20th century Persian carpet production, likely from Isfahan or Nain region workshops during the commercial carpet revival period when traditional designs were refined for international markets.
