Bijar Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 66 × 210 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Bijar comes from Iran and measures 66 × 210 cm. That is roughly 1.39 m² of floor, about 2.2' × 6.9'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

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

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.
