Wool Isfahan Persian Rug 294 × 199 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 294 × 199 cm. That is roughly 5.85 m² of floor, about 9.6' × 6.5'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

What it is made of

Construction: Handgesponnene Wolle in the pile over a cotton foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

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.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
