Ardebil Persian Rug 273 × 194 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 273 × 194 cm — a Ardebil made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 5.3 m², or 9' × 6.4'.

What it is made of

The pile is wool, silk, on a warp of cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

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

Condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
