What Are Sino Isfahan Oriental Rugs?
Sino Isfahan rugs are hand‑knotted masterpieces from China, produced exclusively for Khademi based on classical Isfahan originals—for collectors, connoisseurs and anyone with a passion for excellence. Distinguished by superior fineness, brilliant silk lustre, refined tonal transitions, traditional Persian motifs and unmatched line precision, these rugs reinterpret the legendary Isfahan aesthetics while offering outstanding value through exceptional Chinese craftsmanship.
The History & Origin of Sino Isfahan Rugs
The city of Isfahan, former capital of Persian shahs and situated at the heart of Iran, is considered one of the greatest centres of Persian textile artistry. Since the 16th century, master weavers there have produced iconic works featuring palace landscapes, distinctive medallions and elaborate garden themes—deeply inspired by the city’s monumental architecture, grand mosques and legendary gardens. In Isfahan, architecture, miniature painting and textile art merged into a unique visual language known worldwide.
Chinese Isfahan rugs carry this artistic heritage into the present: crafted with exceptional precision and refined materials, they translate Persian elegance into contemporary perfection—bringing history, brilliance and luminosity into sophisticated interiors.
Manufacturing Process – Handcrafted Luxury & Precision
1.) Selecting & Preparing Exquisite Materials:
The creation of each Sino Isfahan rug begins with the selection of ultra‑fine raw materials: only premium cork wool and pure natural silk are used. The fibres are hand‑spun, repeatedly combed and quality‑tested. Traditional dyeing methods then create softly graduated tones, luminous highlights and harmonious contrasts—defining the signature brilliance of Sino Isfahan rugs.
2.) Precision Knotting in the Persian Tradition:
The rug’s heart is created on vertical hand looms. Here, master weavers—working for months or even years—use high knot density and double‑knot techniques to execute sophisticated patterns. Persian artwork serves as inspiration: detailed medallions, ornamental arabesques, elegant borders and lush garden or floral scenes are translated into textile form with utmost precision. Every element emerges from flawless harmony of pattern, colour and material.
3.) Finishing & Final Quality Inspection:
After knotting, the rug is gently washed and hand‑sheared to bring out three‑dimensional clarity and brilliance. A meticulous final inspection ensures that only flawless pieces—meeting the highest standards of luxury, quality and accuracy—are included in the curated JUPITER Intl Sino Isfahan Collection.
Design Variety & Colour Palette of Sino Isfahan Rugs
Sino Isfahan rugs are celebrated for their remarkable diversity and craftsmanship. Signature elements include magnificent central medallions—both in small and grand formats—either richly floral or strictly symmetrical. They are complemented by finely rendered arabesque fields, decorative palmettes and miniature‑inspired borders, giving each rug depth, harmony and architectural structure.
Many Sino Isfahan pieces also feature elaborate garden motifs, animal depictions or figurative tableaux—uniting textile mastery with narrative imagery. The palette ranges from elegant ivory, cream and sand tones to shimmering gold, turquoise, blue‑grey, powder blue, rose and amber. Intensely rich accents in wine‑red, emerald green or multicolour compositions create expressive contrasts. Depending on the design, colours may be subtle and understated or bold and radiant—always refined and meticulously balanced.
Finding the Right Size: The Perfect Unique Piece for Every Room
Sino Isfahan rugs come in a wide range of sizes, ensuring the ideal format for every room. Oversized rugs—300×250 cm, 350×250 cm or 400×300 cm—serve as striking centrepieces in salons or formal living rooms. Large sizes such as 240×170 cm, 270×180 cm or 300×200 cm are perfect for living rooms, elegant bedrooms or spacious interiors, allowing the full radiance of colours and motifs to unfold.
Medium formats—120×80 cm, 180×120 cm or 200×150 cm—are ideal for foyers, wall displays, reading corners or gallery presentations. For elongated hallways, staircases or architectural niches, runners in 250×70 cm or 300×80 cm offer refined structure and graceful ornamentation.
When format, motif and room harmonise, Sino Isfahan rugs reveal their full splendour—their silk sheen, artistic symmetry and intricate details enrich every interior with luxurious presence.

Interior & Style Tips: Choosing the Ideal Sino Isfahan Rug
Sino Isfahan rugs make extraordinary statements in luxurious interiors. Larger rugs harmonise beautifully with materials such as marble, bronze or fine leather. In traditional, formal or representative spaces, they enhance elegance and depth. In modern interiors with clean lines, pale woods, glass and muted tones, they bring refined brilliance and timeless richness.
As wall art, finely woven pictorial rugs or tableau pieces unfold their full ornamental power. Layering different rug formats, combining textures or using mirrored surfaces and directed lighting can emphasise the silk shimmer and elevate the three‑dimensional effect.
Whether placed on the floor or showcased as a textile artwork—Sino Isfahan rugs elevate every space with Persian heritage, Chinese precision and enduring aesthetic value.
