Isfahan Persian Rug 256 × 372 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Isfahan of 256 × 372 cm. That is roughly 9.52 m² of floor, about 8.4' × 12.2'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

Knot density and quality

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