Hand-Knotted Bakhtiari Persian Rug, 208 × 308 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 208 × 308 cm — a Bakhtiari made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.41 m² of floor, about 6.8' × 10.1'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

On the colourway

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