Hand-Knotted Isfahan Chinese Rug, 250 × 250 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin China, format 250 × 250 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 6.25 m², or 8.2' × 8.2'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

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

Format and use

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
