Hand-Knotted Isfahan Persian Rug, 135 × 218 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 135 × 218 cm. The covered area is about 2.94 m² (4.4' × 7.2'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

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

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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.

On the colourway

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.
