Bijar Persian Rug 80 × 248 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Bijar of 80 × 248 cm. The covered area is about 1.98 m² (2.6' × 8.1').

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under 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.
