Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug 80 × 130 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 80 × 130 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.04 m² of floor, about 2.6' × 4.3'. 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. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

On the knot count

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.

On the colourway

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