Hand-Knotted Wool Persian Rug, 127 × 195 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 127 × 195 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.48 m² of floor, about 4.2' × 6.4'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

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

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.

Colour and appearance

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.
