Persian Rug 181 × 150 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 181 × 150 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.72 m² (5.9' × 4.9').

What it is made of

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 7 kg.

Size and placement

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
