Antique Wool Bakhtiari Persian Rug, 328 × 218 cm

About this rug

This Bakhtiari comes from Iran and measures 328 × 218 cm. The covered area is about 7.15 m² (10.8' × 7.2').

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. 20 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

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.
