Persian Rug 292 × 103 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 292 × 103 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.01 m² (9.6' × 3.4').

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

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.

On the colourway

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

Age

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