Antique Kerman Persian Rug, 212 × 136 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 212 × 136 cm — a Kerman made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.88 m² of floor, about 7' × 4.5'. Kerman is associated with soft colour transitions and floral compositions.

What it is made of

Construction: Handgesponnene Wolle in the pile over a cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 10 kg.

Where it fits

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. This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Condition

Stated age: antique. As an antique piece, condition should be judged against its age.
