Antique Wool Persian Rug, 282 × 163 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 282 × 163 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 4.6 m², or 9.3' × 5.3'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

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

Age and condition

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