Isfahan Persian Rug 109 × 162 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Isfahan comes from Iran and measures 109 × 162 cm. That is roughly 1.77 m² of floor, about 3.6' × 5.3'. Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Construction

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

This size typically covers the floor in front of a 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

It is catalogued under 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.
