Bijar Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 308 × 399 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 308 × 399 cm — a Bijar made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 12.29 m² (10.1' × 13.1').

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

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.

Colour and appearance

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.
