Hand-Knotted Isfahan Persian Rug, 107 × 160 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 107 × 160 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 1.71 m², or 3.5' × 5.2'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% silk. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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.

Colour and appearance

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