Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 320 × 217 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 320 × 217 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.94 m² of floor, about 10.5' × 7.1'.

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. 20 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

How it reads

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

Period

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
