Isfahan Persian Rug 71 × 117 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 71 × 117 cm. That is roughly 0.83 m² of floor, about 2.3' × 3.8'. 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. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

On the knot count

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

The stated colourway is multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
