Mashhad Persian Rug 315 × 204 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Mashhad of 315 × 204 cm. It covers approximately 6.43 m², or 10.3' × 6.7'.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

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

On the colourway

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

Stated condition: made 1970–1979.
