Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug, 107 × 160 cm

The piece in short

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 107 × 160 cm. The covered area is about 1.71 m² (3.5' × 5.2'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

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

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
