Wool Isfahan Persian Rug 282 × 379 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

A Isfahan from China, measuring 282 × 379 cm. The covered area is about 10.69 m² (9.3' × 12.4'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

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.
