Hand-knotted Oriental Rug in Wool & Silk, 205 × 135 cm

A hand-knotted rug from Afghanistan, 205 × 135 cm. Around 969,000 knots went into this piece (300,000-399,999 knots/sqm) — a knot count that balances detail against durability. 100% silk & 100% wool. Wool carries the ground and silk picks out the drawing, so the pattern stands slightly proud of the field — you can feel the difference with a hand across the surface. A mid-size piece at 2.77 m² — bedside, before a fireplace, or under a small table. Proportion 1.52:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
