Hand-Knotted Wool Loribaft Indian Rug, 362 × 275 cm

The piece in short

Origin India, format 362 × 275 cm — a Loribaft made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 9.96 m², or 11.9' × 9'.

Construction

Stated material: bamboo silk (viscose), cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 35 kg.

Size and placement

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. This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is black and grey. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated condition: new.
