Wool Moud Persian Rug 301 × 201 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

This Moud comes from Iran and measures 301 × 201 cm. The covered area is about 6.05 m² (9.9' × 6.6'). Moud rugs are known for their fine Herati pattern.

Construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 18 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.

Colour and appearance

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.
