Antique Isfahan Persian Rug 230 × 150 cm, Wool

At a glance

A Isfahan from Iran, measuring 230 × 150 cm. That is roughly 3.45 m² of floor, about 7.5' × 4.9'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Format and use

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 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

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

Condition

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
