Bijar Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 145 × 210 cm, Wool

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Bijar of 145 × 210 cm. That is roughly 3.05 m² of floor, about 4.8' × 6.9'.

Construction

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

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.
