Isfahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 132 × 208 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

Origin Iran, format 132 × 208 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.75 m² of floor, about 4.3' × 6.8'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

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. Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
