Hand-Knotted Isfahan Persian Rug, 113 × 163 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 113 × 163 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 1.84 m², or 3.7' × 5.3'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

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

Colour is recorded as 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.
