Antique Wool Oriental Rug, 235 × 112 cm

The piece in short

This Oriental rug comes from Russland and measures 235 × 112 cm. That is roughly 2.63 m² of floor, about 7.7' × 3.7'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 4 mm. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Where it fits

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

Fineness of the knotting

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.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under 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.
