Hello, This is my favorite Isfahan. I had the chance
to have this one for a while and it was a very
special rug. If we judge Isfahans
by knot count alone the we lose the artistic
quality. Beauty must come before structure. I had
a young fellow young fellow working for me who
had a heck of a time counting the knots if the
count was over 20 by 20 to the inch. He counted
this one at 20 by 21 and I suspect he was a
little low. How ever this is not the finest by a
long shot, I have seen them up to 26 by 26. But
the count is not the point look at the way the
flowers frame the palmette. Look at the three
plane interplay in the cloudband.
Best wishes,
Barry
