At a glance

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 159 × 245 cm. The covered area is about 3.9 m² (5.2' × 8'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% silk. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

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

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