Loribaft Indian Rug — hand-knotted, 170 × 241 cm

Overview

A Loribaft from India, measuring 170 × 241 cm. That is roughly 4.1 m² of floor, about 5.6' × 7.9'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

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

Colour and appearance

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 condition: new.
