Hand-Knotted Wool Tabriz Persian Rug, 205 × 285 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 205 × 285 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 5.84 m² (6.7' × 9.4'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

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 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

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.
