Antique Wool Baluch Persian Rug, 185 × 105 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 185 × 105 cm — a Baluch made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.94 m² of floor, about 6.1' × 3.4'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

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.

How it reads

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. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
