Persian Rug 146 × 103 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Oriental rug of 146 × 103 cm. That is roughly 1.5 m² of floor, about 4.8' × 3.4'.

What it is made of

The pile is silk, on a warp of silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 4 kg.

Size and placement

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

It is catalogued under 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 condition: Neu.
