Antique Bakhtiari Persian Rug, 425 × 523 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Bakhtiari from Iran, measuring 425 × 523 cm. The covered area is about 22.23 m² (13.9' × 17.2').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

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.

On the colourway

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.
