Wool Tabriz Persian Rug 302 × 200 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Tabriz of 302 × 200 cm. That is roughly 6.04 m² of floor, about 9.9' × 6.6'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

Construction: Handgesponnene Wolle in the pile over a cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. 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 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

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

Condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
