The Naqsh-e Jahan Square, also known as the Meidan Emam, was built by Shah Abbas I the Great at the beginning of the seventeenth century in the city of Isfahan and bordered on all sides by monumental buildings linked by a series of two-storied arcades. The site is known for the Masjid e Shah, the pinnacle of Safavid Architecture, the Masjid of Lotfollah, the magnificent Portico of Qaysariyyeh, the grand Ali Qapu Palace and the fifteenth-century Timurid Palace. They are an impressive testimony to Persia's social and cultural life level during the Safavid era.
This magnificent Isfahan rug features the Naqsh-e Jahan Square exceptionally. An impeccable inner field illustrates the Meidan Emam in the centre, with top and bottom featuring the environs of this magnificent architecture. The Zayande River, which probably flowed in that era, is conspicuous. Soft, muted tones of blue, rust, green, and ivory enhance the beauty of this historical rug.
The phenomenal main border portrays a maquette of all the monumental buildings.
Notably, the Ali Qapu Palace is inscribed in Farsi as well.
Authentic vintage and antique Persian rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to these rugs' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.
Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your rug in position and to smooth out any wrinkles from shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.
Our rugs are professionally cleaned.

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
Thanks for the seamless buying. Great rug.
