Hand-Knotted Wool Loribaft Indian Rug, 180 × 120 cm

About this rug

This Loribaft comes from India and measures 180 × 120 cm. That is roughly 2.16 m² of floor, about 5.9' × 3.9'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 12 mm. Weight is given as ap. 7 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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

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.
