Bijar Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 114 × 182 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

A Bijar from Iran, measuring 114 × 182 cm. That is roughly 2.07 m² of floor, about 3.7' × 6'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

Colour and appearance

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

Age

Stated condition: new.
