Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. 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. In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

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