Hand-knotted Oriental Rug in Silk, 179 × 123 cm

Hand-knotted from Afghanistan: a rug measuring 179 × 123 cm. At 300,000-399,999 knots/sqm the pile holds around 771,000 knots in total — a medium-fine weave that wears well underfoot. Pile 100% silk, warp 100% silk. Silk both in the pile and through the foundation, so the whole rug catches light rather than only the pattern. At 2.2 m² this is a collector’s size. Proportion 1.46:1. One of a kind: hand-knotted rugs are not made in editions, so this exact piece exists once.
