Isfahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 110 × 165 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 110 × 165 cm. The covered area is about 1.82 m² (3.6' × 5.4'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

On the knot count

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

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
