Antique Wool Kerman Persian Rug, 129 × 99 cm

About this rug

This Kerman comes from Iran and measures 129 × 99 cm. That is roughly 1.28 m² of floor, about 4.2' × 3.2'. Kerman is associated with soft colour transitions and floral compositions.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 4 mm. Weight is given as approx. 4 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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

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.

Period

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