Loribaft Persian Rug 228 × 305 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Loribaft of 228 × 305 cm. The covered area is about 6.95 m² (7.5' × 10').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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

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.
