Hand-Knotted Wool Persian Rug, 240 × 160 cm

The piece in short

A Oriental rug from Iran, measuring 240 × 160 cm. The covered area is about 3.84 m² (7.9' × 5.2').

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 12 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

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.

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
