Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Moud Persian Rug, 173 × 240 cm

Overview

Origin Iran, format 173 × 240 cm — a Moud made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.15 m² (5.7' × 7.9'). Moud rugs are known for their fine Herati pattern.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under multicolour. 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.
