What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

How it reads

It is catalogued under multicolour. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
