Isfahan Persian Rug 110 × 160 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 110 × 160 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.76 m² of floor, about 3.6' × 5.2'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% silk. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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.
