Isfahan Persian Rug 300 × 414 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 300 × 414 cm. The covered area is about 12.42 m² (9.8' × 13.6'). 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 5-7mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

How it reads

It is catalogued under black and grey, Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
