An all-silk Jamshidi

A large star-medallion Isfahan carpet by Ahmad Zojaji: an ivory field of dense Shah Abbasi flora around a red-and-navy star medallion, navy corner medallions, and a deep wine border, the white silk fringes visible at both ends.
In Detail
The foot of the medallion descending through the lavender field into the border cascade.
The corner turning through cartouche borders to the lavender outer band, where a procession of woven birds walks beside the signature: Iran, Qom, Jamshidi.
The carpet at an angle, the silk catching light across the lavender field and the medallion’s teal corona.
