Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Isfahan of 112 × 172 cm. The covered area is about 1.93 m² (3.7' × 5.6'). 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 7-10mm.

Size and placement

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

Knot density and quality

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
