Turkmen Persian Rug 150 × 120 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Turkmen of 150 × 120 cm. The covered area is about 1.8 m² (4.9' × 3.9').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 4 kg.

Size and placement

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as green / Oliv. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
