The Persian Court Collection: What It Is and Who It Suits
Share
Tabriz, Kashan, Isfahan and Sultanabad — the workshop tradition that gave carpet design the centred medallion and the endlessly turning floral field.
The 39 designs in this collection
They are drawn from 16 separate design sources: Saruk, Kashan, Ardebil, Qum, Mahal, Yazd, Isfahan, Kerman, Heriz, Nain, Zaronim, Josan, Veramin, Senneh, Bidjar and Sultanabad. Each has its own article explaining where the pattern comes from and what the motifs mean.

The colours it runs in
Across the collection you will find grey & silver, orange & terracotta, yellow & gold, blue & navy, pink & fuchsia, lilac & purple, cream & white, mink & brown, green & khaki and red & burgundy. Every design is woven in all ten sizes, so the choice within a collection is purely pattern and colour.
Who it suits
Medallion, vine and palmette from the great Iranian workshops. If that description fits the room you are buying for, start here rather than with the whole catalogue — 39 designs is a browsable number, 315 is not.
The construction, which is the same throughout
Chenille polyester pile on a woven cotton backing with a non-slip finish. Machine washable at 30°C, no underlay needed, no latex or rubber. The heritage is in the drawing; the construction is deliberately modern.
