Antique Zanjan Persian Rug — 205 × 127 cm, Wool

At a glance

A Zanjan from Iran, measuring 205 × 127 cm. That is roughly 2.6 m² of floor, about 6.7' × 4.2'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

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

On the colourway

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. 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. As an antique piece, condition should be judged against its age.
