About this rug

A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 158 × 225 cm. That is roughly 3.56 m² of floor, about 5.2' × 7.4'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
