Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug, 110 × 160 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 110 × 160 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.76 m² of floor, about 3.6' × 5.2'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

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

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
