Isfahan Persian Rug 108 × 175 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 108 × 175 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 1.89 m², or 3.5' × 5.7'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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 red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
