Construction

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 6 kg.

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

Fineness of the knotting

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