Hand-Knotted Wool Heriz Persian Rug, 223 × 362 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 223 × 362 cm — a Heriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 8.07 m² (7.3' × 11.9'). 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.

Format and use

A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

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.

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.
