Hand-Knotted Wool Koliai Persian Rug, 385 × 625 cm

The piece in short

A Koliai from Iran, measuring 385 × 625 cm. That is roughly 24.06 m² of floor, about 12.6' × 20.5'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Fineness of the knotting

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

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
