This is a hand-woven Persian rug crafted in Isfahan, a leading rug-producing region in Iran.
It uses delicate cork wool harvested from the sheep's neck and silk to add a beautiful luster.

The rug's appearance changes depending on the light and viewing angle, allowing you to enjoy the depth unique to hand-weaving.
Isfahan is known as a place where the artistry of Persian rugs significantly developed, having flourished as the capital of the Safavid dynasty in the 16th century.
