Anyone? Not seen it in real life, the owner is claiming it's Persian and 900 kpsi but looking at it I wouldn't say that's right.

Exquisit Hereke or Kumkapi, very fine, 900 kpsi possible.

Looks very pretty but there is something odd about it. I cant put my finger on it but I think you will once you see it. I think the 900kpsi piece should have a better weave than that. First Floor, unit 9 1 Chandos Road London NW10 6NF UK www.sharafiandco.com

Yes - the Picture of the knot Looks like less than 900 kpsi, but the warp (fringe) is very fine. And 900 kpsi is not uncommon for good Hereke (12 x 12 Quality).
