Hand-Knotted Wool Heriz Persian Rug, 223 × 303 cm

Overview

Origin Iran, format 223 × 303 cm — a Heriz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.76 m² of floor, about 7.3' × 9.9'. Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Construction

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

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

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

Colour and appearance

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.
