Isfahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 130 × 200 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 130 × 200 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.6 m² (4.3' × 6.6'). 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.

Format and use

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

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.

Colour and appearance

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