Bijar Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 298 × 388 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 298 × 388 cm — a Bijar made entirely by hand. That is roughly 11.56 m² of floor, about 9.8' × 12.7'.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

On the knot count

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

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