Antique Wool Bakhtiari Kilim Persian Rug, 275 × 200 cm

About this rug

This Bakhtiari Kilim comes from Iran and measures 275 × 200 cm. The covered area is about 5.5 m² (9' × 6.6').

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool. It is entirely hand-woven. Pile height is given as approx. 3 mm. Weight is given as ap. 12 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Flatweave

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

Colour and appearance

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.

Age and condition

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