The piece in short

Materials and construction

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 18 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

Colour and appearance

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