Indian Oriental Rug 201 × 210 cm, Silk, hand-knotted, exclusive

Overview

An Indian Oriental rug from India, measuring 201 × 210 cm. It covers approximately 4.22 m², or 6.6′ × 6.9′. Indian workshops knot in the Persian tradition, usually in silk or in wool on a cotton foundation.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, silk. The rug was knotted entirely by hand on the loom, which is why the surface is not mechanically even but carries the small irregularities that mark hand work. A silk pile changes tone with the angle of view: the same area reads lighter or darker as you move around it. The cotton warp holds the rug flat and keeps it dimensionally stable.

Size and placement

The rug is square. This is the classic living-room size: a seating group can stand on it with the border still visible. In our size filter it is listed under approx. 200×200cm.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². This is a fine count. Curved lines stay smooth and small motifs remain legible at arm’s length.

Period

Stated age: contemporary. The pile is still full and largely unwalked. The dominant colour range is multicolor. The piece is a one-off: in this combination of size, material, knot count and drawing it exists exactly once, and it cannot be reordered once sold.
