Isfahan Persian Rug 239 × 369 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 239 × 369 cm. The covered area is about 8.82 m² (7.8' × 12.1'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
