Isfahan Persian Rug 85 × 127 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 85 × 127 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.08 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 4.2'. 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. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

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. A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

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