The piece in short
A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 80 × 128 cm. The covered area is about 1.02 m² (2.6' × 4.2'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.
Materials and construction
Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. Construction method: hand-knotted.
Format and use
The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.
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.
