Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 150 × 300 cm, Wool

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Oriental rug of 150 × 300 cm. That is roughly 4.5 m² of floor, about 4.9' × 9.8'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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

The stated colourway is 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 condition: new.
