Bakhtiari Persian Rug 322 × 208 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 322 × 208 cm — a Bakhtiari made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 6.7 m², or 10.6' × 6.8'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 12 mm. Weight is given as approx. 18 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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

Colour is recorded as 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
