What it is made of

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 26 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Age and condition

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