An impressive large handmade Persian Najafabad carpet, beautifully woven using fine, soft lamb's wool on a strong cotton foundation and featuring an elegant traditional floral central medallion.

Originating from Najafabad in the Isfahan region of Persia, this beautiful carpet reflects the rich weaving heritage of central Persia, where skilled craftsmanship, fine materials and intricate floral designs are highly valued.

Beautiful Traditional Floral Medallion Design

The carpet features a carefully composed central medallion surrounded by intricate floral ornamentation, creating an elegant and harmonious traditional Persian design.

The combination of red, cream and blue gives the carpet a distinctive decorative character, with contrasting colours bringing depth and definition to the floral pattern.

The central medallion forms an attractive focal point, while the surrounding floral motifs create a sense of movement and balance across the generous surface.

This classical Persian composition makes the carpet particularly appealing for customers who appreciate traditional craftsmanship and richly detailed decorative design.

The impressive size allows the intricate pattern to be fully appreciated, making this carpet a beautiful statement piece for a larger interior.

Fine Lamb's Wool and Skilled Persian Craftsmanship

Expertly hand knotted using fine lamb's wool on a cotton foundation, this Najafabad carpet demonstrates the skill and attention to detail associated with traditional Persian city weaving.

The soft lamb's wool provides natural warmth, comfort and resilience, while the cotton foundation supports the structure and durability of the carpet.

With a stated knot density of approximately 120 knots per square inch, the weaving allows for clear definition throughout the floral design.

Each individually tied knot contributes to the carpet's intricate pattern and distinctive handmade character.

The combination of fine wool, careful craftsmanship and traditional Persian design makes this carpet both an attractive decorative piece and a practical floor covering.

Age, Condition and Quality

Approximately 20–30 years old, this beautiful Persian Najafabad carpet is in excellent condition, with a full pile and no wear reported.

The full wool pile provides a comfortable surface underfoot and helps preserve the clarity of its detailed floral pattern.

The carpet has been professionally hand washed and cleaned and is ready for immediate use.

It is also suitable for heavy domestic use, making it an excellent choice for customers seeking a fine handmade Persian carpet that combines elegance with everyday practicality.

Interior Colour Inspiration
