What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-woven throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm. Weight is given as approx. 18 kg.

Where it fits

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

Weave

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

How it reads

Colour is recorded as Braun / Gelb. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.

Age

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