Antique Persian Rug, 230 × 150 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Oriental rug comes from Iran and measures 230 × 150 cm. That is roughly 3.45 m² of floor, about 7.5' × 4.9'.

Construction

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. 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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as multicolour. 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.
