Bakhtiari Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 298 × 152 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Bakhtiari from Iran, measuring 298 × 152 cm. The covered area is about 4.53 m² (9.8' × 5').

Construction

Stated material: new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 16 kg.

Where it fits

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

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.

On the colourway

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.

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
