Persian Rug 254 × 169 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Oriental rug of 254 × 169 cm. That is roughly 4.29 m² of floor, about 8.3' × 5.5'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 12 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

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