Hello, this item is a hand-knotted Persian rug from Isfahan, Iran, executed with a fine asymmetrical knot structure and a silk foundation with wool pile. The geometric lattice of repeating diamond medallions, combined with a controlled palette of ivory, rust, and soft blues, reflects a design vocabulary that draws on earlier Persian tribal and pre-Islamic motifs, though it does not indicate that the rug itself is “pagan” in origin. Rugs from Isfahan workshops often reinterpret historical patterns, including Zoroastrian or early Persian symbolic geometry, within a later, mostly 20th-century production context. The reported knot density of around 552 knots per square inch places it in a relatively fine category, supporting skilled craftsmanship and workshop production rather than mass manufacture.

Condition appears excellent, and the size, approximately 3 ft 7 in by 5 ft 4 in, places it in the small to medium decorative rug category, which is widely collected and easy to place in interiors. Isfahan rugs with silk warp and detailed knotting tend to perform steadily in the market, though value depends on age, precision, and clarity of design. Based on comparable examples, a fair market value would reasonably fall between $800 and $1,500 USD.
