Moud Persian Rug 205 × 295 cm, Wool and Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

A Moud Persian rug from Iran, measuring 205 × 295 cm. It covers approximately 6.05 m², or 6.7′ × 9.7′. Moud rugs from eastern Iran are finely knotted with a herati field, often in blue and ivory.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, wool, silk. The rug was knotted entirely by hand on the loom, which is why the surface is not mechanically even but carries the small irregularities that mark hand work. Silk is set into a wool ground, so the silk passages catch the light while the wool carries the wear. The cotton warp holds the rug flat and keeps it dimensionally stable.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This is the classic living-room size: a seating group can stand on it with the border still visible. In our size filter it is listed under approx. 300×200cm.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². A middle count: the pattern reads clearly while the rug keeps a robust, everyday handle.

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary. The pile is still full and largely unwalked. The dominant colour range is red and orange. The piece is a one-off: in this combination of size, material, knot count and drawing it exists exactly once, and it cannot be reordered once sold.
