Persian Rug 200 × 290 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Oriental rug comes from Iran and measures 200 × 290 cm. The covered area is about 5.8 m² (6.6' × 9.5').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

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

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