Hand-Knotted Wool Oriental Rug, 181 × 131 cm

Overview

Origin Russland, format 181 × 131 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.37 m² (5.9' × 4.3').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm. Weight is given as ap. 6 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

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

Period

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