Isfahan Persian Rug 142 × 217 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 142 × 217 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.08 m² (4.7' × 7.1'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% silk. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
