Persian Isfahan, Wool Hand Knotted Area Rug, 170 cm x 240 cm, Cream Rust

Rugs from this city (Isfahan) belong to the probably most valuable hand-knotted Persian rugs worldwide. Very fine Isfahan rugs come from the studios of world-renowned master knotters who achieve a knot density of more than a million knots per square meter. To own an Isfahan means to have a Persian rug of the highest knotting skill. The design of these rugs is mostly inspired by the impressive mosques and squares of the city bearing the same name.

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still form the highest quality standard among all types of rugs. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires a much higher manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill of the knotter. Thus the knot density also serves as a decisive value factor of hand-knotted rugs. The quality is not directly related to the knot density. A rather coarse rug may well have been made in excellent quality.
