Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 110 × 225 cm, Wool

Overview

A Oriental rug from Iran, measuring 110 × 225 cm. The covered area is about 2.48 m² (3.6' × 7.4').

Construction

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

Format and use

This size typically covers the floor in front of a 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

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
