The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Moud of 58 × 88 cm. The covered area is about 0.51 m² (1.9' × 2.9'). Moud rugs are known for their fine Herati pattern.

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

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. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
