Hand-Knotted Wool Bijar Persian Rug, 138 × 210 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 138 × 210 cm — a Bijar made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.9 m² of floor, about 4.5' × 6.9'.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is multicolour. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
