The piece in short

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

It is catalogued under red and orange. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
