At a glance

Origin Iran, format 440 × 677 cm — a Mashhad made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 29.79 m² (14.4' × 22.2').

What it is made of

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

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

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.

On the colourway

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.
