Antique Persian Rug, 98 × 50 cm, Wool

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 98 × 50 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.49 m² (3.2' × 1.6').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 2 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. 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. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
