Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Moud Persian Rug, 192 × 152 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 192 × 152 cm — a Moud made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 2.92 m², or 6.3' × 5'. Moud rugs are known for their fine Herati pattern.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

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

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

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
