The colour palette ranges from vibrant colours to soft tones, making Isfahan rugs suitable for a variety of interior styles.
These rugs are highly prized for their beauty, quality and craftsmanship and are often coveted collector's items. They represent luxury, sophistication and cultural heritage and are often used as prestige items in residential and commercial interiors.
