Hand-Knotted Persian Rug, 124 × 82 cm, Silk

At a glance

This Oriental rug comes from Iran and measures 124 × 82 cm. The covered area is about 1.02 m² (4.1' × 2.7').

Materials and construction

Construction: silk in the pile over a silk foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 4 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

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. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
