Mashhad Persian Rug 293 × 215 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Mashhad of 293 × 215 cm. That is roughly 6.3 m² of floor, about 9.6' × 7.1'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

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.

Age and condition

Stated condition: made 1970–1979.
