Hand-Knotted Wool Persian Rug, 290 × 205 cm

Overview

Origin Iran, format 290 × 205 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 5.95 m² of floor, about 9.5' × 6.7'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 12 mm. Weight is given as ap. 20 kg.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. 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. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
