Isfahan
Isfahan, a city with a rich cultural history of art and craftsmanship, is a major influence on the artistic tradition of Isfahan carpets. The designs of these carpets often draw inspiration from Persian poetry and the magnificent carpets of royal palaces. Isfahan carpets are recognised worldwide and are considered one of the most exquisite types of carpet Persia has to offer. Their artistic design and precision craftsmanship make them coveted collector's items.

Knot density of oriental carpets
The quality of a carpet is reflected in its fineness, which is defined by the knot density - the number of knots per square metre. This measure is not only an indicator of the precision of the craftsmanship, but also has a significant influence on the overall quality of the carpet. A higher knot density not only allows the creation of complex patterns, but also demonstrates the masterful skill of the craftsmen. The skilful knotting of fine knots creates a rug that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also impresses with its robustness and cultural significance. The knot density of our carpets can be found on the product page under the properties.

The production of a isfahan rug
The manufacturing process of Isfahan carpets begins with a meticulous design, often inspired by Persian poetry and royal palace carpets. Patterns, designs and colours are carefully selected. The rugs are made using a fine knotting technique with a high knot density, with the specific technique depending on the desired pattern and design. The dyeing of the wool and silk is done with natural dyes to create a rich and long-lasting colour palette, with the necessary level of experience being crucial. The actual knotting is done by hand, with weavers using specialised techniques to integrate wool, cotton and silk into the specified patterns and designs. The production of Isfahan rugs thus requires a successful combination of artistic design, craftsmanship and attention to detail to create exquisitely crafted rugs of the highest quality.
