Hand-Knotted Heriz Persian Rug, 258 × 328 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 258 × 328 cm — a Heriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 8.46 m² (8.5' × 10.8'). Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
