Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 320 × 436 cm, Wool

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Oriental rug of 320 × 436 cm. That is roughly 13.95 m² of floor, about 10.5' × 14.3'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

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

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
