Antique Isfahan Persian Rug, 454 × 296 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 454 × 296 cm. That is roughly 13.44 m² of floor, about 14.9' × 9.7'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 50 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Age and condition

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
