Bijar Persian Rug 275 × 385 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Bijar of 275 × 385 cm. It covers approximately 10.59 m², or 9' × 12.6'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
