Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug 80 × 130 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 80 × 130 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 1.04 m², or 2.6' × 4.3'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% silk. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

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