Antique Persian Rug, 208 × 139 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 208 × 139 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.89 m² of floor, about 6.8' × 4.6'.

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

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

On the colourway

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

Age and condition

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
