Isfahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 132 × 196 cm, Wool & Silk

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 132 × 196 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 2.59 m², or 4.3' × 6.4'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool, silk, silk warp. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

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

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.
