Isfahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 100 × 186 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 100 × 186 cm. The covered area is about 1.86 m² (3.3' × 6.1'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 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 red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
