Antique Wool Oriental Rug, 208 × 123 cm

About this rug

Origin Russland, format 208 × 123 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 2.56 m², or 6.8' × 4'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm. Weight is given as ap. 6 kg.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

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

Age

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