Hand-Knotted Wool Mashhad Persian Rug, 408 × 300 cm

About this rug

This Mashhad comes from Iran and measures 408 × 300 cm. The covered area is about 12.24 m² (13.4' × 9.8').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 45 kg.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

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.

Colour and appearance

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

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
