Antique Persian Rug, 208 × 139 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 208 × 139 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.89 m² (6.8' × 4.6').

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as black and grey. 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. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
