Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 85 × 390 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Oriental rug comes from Iran and measures 85 × 390 cm. That is roughly 3.32 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 12.8'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

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 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.
