Hand-Knotted Wool Afshar Persian Rug, 202 × 147 cm

About this rug

This Afshar comes from Iran and measures 202 × 147 cm. That is roughly 2.97 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 4.8'.

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

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.

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
