Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 214 × 140 cm, Wool

Overview

A Oriental rug from Iran, measuring 214 × 140 cm. That is roughly 3 m² of floor, about 7' × 4.6'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 8 kg.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

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.
