Hand-Knotted Wool Loribaft Indian Rug, 240 × 168 cm

The piece in short

A Loribaft from India, measuring 240 × 168 cm. The covered area is about 4.03 m² (7.9' × 5.5').

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 12 mm. Weight is given as ap. 12 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.
