Heriz Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 224 × 296 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 224 × 296 cm — a Heriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 6.63 m² (7.3' × 9.7'). Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

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.
