Ardebil Persian Rug 75 × 105 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 75 × 105 cm — a Ardebil made entirely by hand. That is roughly 0.79 m² of floor, about 2.5' × 3.4'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

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