Isfahan Persian Rug 105 × 164 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 105 × 164 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.72 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 5.4'. 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. 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. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
