Hand-Knotted Wool Heriz Persian Rug, 303 × 203 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Heriz of 303 × 203 cm. It covers approximately 6.15 m², or 9.9' × 6.7'. Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 22 kg.

Format and use

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

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.

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
