Antique Esfahan Persian Area Rug, Forest Green & Gold | Washable Heritage Medallion

Bring jewel-toned, museum-grade Persian artistry home with our Antique Esfahan Persian Area Rug in Forest Green and Gold — a heirloom-inspired design featuring a richly-detailed shaped medallion floating on a saturated forest-green field, lit by gold, ochre, rust, and ivory florals. Esfahan rugs are widely considered some of the finest Persian carpets ever woven, prized by royal courts, museums, and collectors for their fine knotting and balanced palettes. The deep emerald-and-gold colorway is one of the rarer and most coveted Esfahan combinations.

About the Antique Esfahan Pattern

Esfahan (also spelled Isfahan) was the imperial capital of Safavid Persia in the 16th and 17th centuries, a period considered the golden age of Persian carpet weaving. Royal workshops produced silk and wool rugs of extraordinary refinement — with finely-knotted floral fields, shaped medallions, and palace-quality drawing. Esfahan continued to be a major weaving center into the 20th century, and antique Esfahans from the 19th and early 20th century are now treasured in museum collections worldwide. This washable reproduction captures the soul of those heirloom pieces in a modern, daily-life construction.
