At a glance

This Bakhtiari comes from Iran and measures 320 × 160 cm. That is roughly 5.12 m² of floor, about 10.5' × 5.2'.

What it is made of

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 12 kg.

Size and placement

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

Knot density and quality

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

Age

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
