Persian Rug 227 × 130 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Oriental rug comes from Iran and measures 227 × 130 cm. The covered area is about 2.95 m² (7.4' × 4.3').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
