Materials and construction

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap.6kg.

Size and placement

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

On the colourway

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
