Antique Persian Rug 128 × 126 cm, Wool

Overview

A Oriental rug from Iran, measuring 128 × 126 cm. The covered area is about 1.61 m² (4.2' × 4.1').

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

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

Condition

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