Afshar Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 210 × 152 cm, Wool

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Afshar of 210 × 152 cm. That is roughly 3.19 m² of floor, about 6.9' × 5'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 10 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Braun / Gelb. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
