Antique Persian Rug 190 × 131 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 190 × 131 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 2.49 m², or 6.2' × 4.3'.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 9 kg.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

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

Age and condition

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
