Isfahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 127 × 184 cm, Wool & Silk

At a glance

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 127 × 184 cm. That is roughly 2.34 m² of floor, about 4.2' × 6'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 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 multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
