The piece in short

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 2 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
