Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 24 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
