Isfahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 250 × 350 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 250 × 350 cm. It covers approximately 8.75 m², or 8.2' × 11.5'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
