Afghan Rug — hand-knotted, 248 × 341 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Oriental rug from Afghanistan, measuring 248 × 341 cm. That is roughly 8.46 m² of floor, about 8.1' × 11.2'.

What it is made of

Stated material: new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

How it reads

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

Stated condition: new.
