Mashhad Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 293 × 390 cm, Wool

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Mashhad of 293 × 390 cm. It covers approximately 11.43 m², or 9.6' × 12.8'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

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

How it reads

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.
