Wool Turkmen Persian Rug 258 × 428 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 258 × 428 cm — a Turkmen made entirely by hand. That is roughly 11.04 m² of floor, about 8.5' × 14'.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

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

It is catalogued under 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.
