Bijar Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 140 × 212 cm, Wool

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Bijar of 140 × 212 cm. That is roughly 2.97 m² of floor, about 4.6' × 7'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Knot density and quality

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

Colour and appearance

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