Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Isfahan Persian Rug, 200 × 140 cm

Overview

Origin Iran, format 200 × 140 cm — a Isfahan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.8 m² (6.6' × 4.6'). Isfahan has stood for exceptionally fine knotting for centuries.

Materials and construction

Stated material: wool. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

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

Period

Stated condition: made 1970–1979.
