Isfahan Persian Rug 112 × 163 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 112 × 163 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.83 m² (3.7' × 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.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

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.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is 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.
