Mashhad Persian Rug 197 × 296 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Mashhad from Iran, measuring 197 × 296 cm. That is roughly 5.83 m² of floor, about 6.5' × 9.7'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

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

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
