Bijar Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 258 × 343 cm, Wool & Silk

About this rug

A Bijar from Iran, measuring 258 × 343 cm. It covers approximately 8.85 m², or 8.5' × 11.3'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

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.
