Hand-Knotted Wool Bijar Persian Rug, 171 × 240 cm

The piece in short

This Bijar comes from Iran and measures 171 × 240 cm. That is roughly 4.1 m² of floor, about 5.6' × 7.9'.

Construction

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

On the colourway

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.
