At a glance

A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 87 × 135 cm. That is roughly 1.17 m² of floor, about 2.9' × 4.4'. 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. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

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 500,000–599,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
