Isfahan Persian Rug 90 × 399 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Isfahan of 90 × 399 cm. The covered area is about 3.59 m² (3' × 13.1'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.

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.
