The piece in short
A Ardebil from Iran, measuring 370 × 275 cm. It covers approximately 10.18 m², or 12.1' × 9'.
Materials and construction
Stated material: cotton warp. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.
Where it fits
The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.
Fineness of the knotting
The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.
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.
Period
Stated condition: made 1970–1979.
