Bijar Persian Rug 159 × 242 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 159 × 242 cm — a Bijar made entirely by hand. That is roughly 3.85 m² of floor, about 5.2' × 7.9'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
