Handmade Persian Rug

Exceptional Hand-Knotted Persian Shahreza Rug

Fine Wool & Silk | Master Craftsmanship | Gallery Quality

This extraordinary hand-knotted Persian rug originates from the historic town of Shahreza, located in central Iran, a region celebrated for producing some of the finest and most enduring Persian carpets. Shahreza rugs are prized by collectors for their precision, density, and remarkable longevity.

Woven with exceptional care, this piece features a luxurious pile composed of approximately 95% pure wool enriched with around 5% silk, lending subtle luminosity and depth to the design. The cotton weft and fringe provide structural integrity, ensuring strength and stability for generations to come.

Master-Level Knot Density

With an impressive 256 knots per square inch, this rug exemplifies true artisan craftsmanship. Measuring 2,856 square inches, it contains a total of 731,136 individually hand-tied knots. At an average weaving rate of 600 knots per hour, its creation required over 1,218 hours of skilled labour — a testament to the dedication and expertise of the master weaver.

To replicate a rug of this calibre and density in the UK, the production cost alone would exceed £18,270, underscoring the exceptional value and collectability of this authentic Persian work of art.
