Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug 142 × 230 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 142 × 230 cm. That is roughly 3.27 m² of floor, about 4.7' × 7.5'. 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.

Where it fits

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

Fineness of the knotting

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 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.
