At a glance

A Mashhad from Iran, measuring 205 × 290 cm. The covered area is about 5.95 m² (6.7' × 9.5').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. 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
