Hand-Knotted Isfahan Persian Rug, 235 × 155 cm, Wool & Silk

At a glance

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Isfahan of 235 × 155 cm. The covered area is about 3.64 m² (7.7' × 5.1'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

The pile is wool, silk, on a warp of silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 8 kg.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ 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 red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
