Baluch Persian Rug 189 × 120 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Baluch of 189 × 120 cm. That is roughly 2.27 m² of floor, about 6.2' × 3.9'.

Construction

The pile is Handgesponnene Wolle, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.
