Isfahan Persian Rug 153 × 218 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 153 × 218 cm. The covered area is about 3.34 m² (5' × 7.2'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool, silk warp. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 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.
