Isfahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 108 × 175 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Isfahan of 108 × 175 cm. The covered area is about 1.89 m² (3.5' × 5.7'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Stated material: new wool, silk, silk warp. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

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.

How it reads

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.
