At a glance

Origin Iran, format 80 × 122 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.98 m² (2.6' × 4'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% silk. Construction method: 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.

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
