Hand-Knotted Wool Persian Rug, 400 × 295 cm

Overview

A Oriental rug from Iran, measuring 400 × 295 cm. The covered area is about 11.8 m² (13.1' × 9.7').

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 45 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

Fineness of the knotting

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.
