Zanjan Persian Rug 202 × 127 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

A Zanjan from Iran, measuring 202 × 127 cm. The covered area is about 2.57 m² (6.6' × 4.2').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 14 mm. Weight is given as ap. 8 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

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.

On the colourway

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.

Age

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