伊斯法罕地毯在巴列维王朝（1925-1979）达到了一个巅峰，尤其是极为精湛的打结技术，是此前任何一个朝代都无法企及的。我们眼前这条极其精美的地毯就充分说明了这一点。该毯选用了伊斯法罕最优质的羊毛和天然丝线，如此精良的材料通常只用于小型地毯，像这样尺幅巨大的地毯并不多见，其珍贵程度自不待言。
从图案设计来看，该毯延续了伊斯法罕的典型风格——以白色为底面，中央绘有蓝色和灰色为主色调的中心葵图案，周围装饰着以“阿巴斯王”命名的花卉图纹，疏密有间，细致入微，体现了一种典雅高贵的视觉美感。含蓄的主边界包围在四条小花边中，与主面板形成了鲜明的色彩对照。
整条地毯品相极佳，适合铺设于客厅、卧室，亦可收藏和投资。
The high quality of design and craftsmanship embodies the timeless characteristics which exercised a decisive influence on their successors. The well balanced natural vegetable dye colours depend on their vitality for the contrast of clearly delineated matching shades but the key to the whole lies in the harmony of well-judged proportions.
A complex dark blue medallion of superimposed sixteen point ornaments is a far more coherent in construction than most of the Isfahan medallions; its graphic clarity ensures a focal role against the cream field in which a spiral stem in ivory binds together in an ornate yet excellently spaces floral and foliate design. This excellent example woven in 1940 is in excellent condition.
