Antique Wool Chinese Rug, 174 × 88 cm

Overview

Origin China, format 174 × 88 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.53 m² of floor, about 5.7' × 2.9'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 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. This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

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