The knot count is high, around 784 per square inch, based on 28 x 28; it is single-wefted, making it a high-quality carpet. Such a finely knotted piece only accomplishes extraordinary design detail. This ancient design is often seen in the domes of great mosques.

The designs are detailed and intricate, often depicting gardens, medallions and animals, so they must be worked out on graph paper before weaving commences. The knot count on silk rugs can range from 200 to 1000 knots per square inch. Because the silk ply is so thin, the rug takes much longer to grow, and weaving should be limited to 8 hours per day to avoid strain on the mind, fingers, and eyes. This piece has the master weaver's signature woven into the end border.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company's provenance and the rug are worth considering when buying online.
