Hand-Knotted Indian Rug, 315 × 247 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin India, format 315 × 247 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 7.78 m² of floor, about 10.3' × 8.1'.

What it is made of

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap.22kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

It is catalogued under Braun / Gelb. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age and condition

Stated condition: Neu.
