Isfahan Persian Rug 168 × 245 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 168 × 245 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.12 m² (5.5' × 8'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
