Bijar Persian Rug 68 × 80 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 68 × 80 cm — a Bijar made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.54 m² (2.2' × 2.6').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

The rug is square. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

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

Age

Stated condition: approx. 50 years old.
