Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug, 100 × 155 cm

At a glance

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Isfahan of 100 × 155 cm. That is roughly 1.55 m² of floor, about 3.3' × 5.1'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Stated material: new wool, silk, silk warp. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

The stated colourway is multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
