Hand-Knotted Persian Rug, 90 × 72 cm, Wool

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 90 × 72 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 0.65 m² of floor, about 3' × 2.4'.

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
