Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Indian Rug, 123 × 178 cm

At a glance

Origin India, format 123 × 178 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.19 m² of floor, about 4' × 5.8'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. 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.
