Antique Persian Rug — 216 × 105 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Oriental rug comes from Iran and measures 216 × 105 cm. That is roughly 2.27 m² of floor, about 7.1' × 3.4'.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

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

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.

On the colourway

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

Age and condition

Stated age: antique. As an antique piece, condition should be judged against its age.
