Hand-Knotted Persian Rug, 132 × 210 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 132 × 210 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.77 m² of floor, about 4.3' × 6.9'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Where it fits

Colour and appearance

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