Antique Zanjan Persian Rug — 200 × 120 cm, Wool

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Zanjan of 200 × 120 cm. The covered area is about 2.4 m² (6.6' × 3.9').

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

How it reads

It is catalogued under red and orange. 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.
