Persian Rug 290 × 385 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 290 × 385 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 11.17 m², or 9.5' × 12.6'.

Construction

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

Where it fits

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.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
