Hand-Knotted Wool Heriz Persian Rug, 215 × 298 cm

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Heriz of 215 × 298 cm. The covered area is about 6.41 m² (7.1' × 9.8'). Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

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.
