Mashhad Persian Rug 196 × 286 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 196 × 286 cm — a Mashhad made entirely by hand. That is roughly 5.61 m² of floor, about 6.4' × 9.4'.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

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

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.
