Hand-Knotted Persian Rug, 83 × 64 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 83 × 64 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.53 m² (2.7' × 2.1').

Construction

Stated material: new wool.

Size and placement

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
