The piece in short

A Oriental rug from Iran, measuring 402 × 105 cm. The covered area is about 4.22 m² (13.2' × 3.4').

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

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.
