Hand-Knotted Isfahan Persian Rug, 80 × 123 cm, Wool & Silk

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 80 × 123 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

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

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.

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
