Bakhtiari Persian Rug 160 × 305 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Bakhtiari comes from Iran and measures 160 × 305 cm. The covered area is about 4.88 m² (5.2' × 10').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

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

Age and condition

Stated condition: new.
