Hand-Knotted Wool Persian Rug, 202 × 297 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 202 × 297 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 9.7'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

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

On the colourway

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.
