Mashhad Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 244 × 339 cm, Wool

Overview

A Mashhad from Iran, measuring 244 × 339 cm. The covered area is about 8.27 m² (8' × 11.1').

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

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.
