Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug, 105 × 170 cm

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Isfahan of 105 × 170 cm. That is roughly 1.79 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 5.6'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Stated material: new wool, silk, silk warp. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
