Wool Yazd Persian Rug 367 × 267 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 367 × 267 cm — a Yazd made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 9.8 m², or 12' × 8.8'.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as Handgesponnene Wolle, warp as cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 28 kg.

Where it fits

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 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

How it reads

The stated colourway is 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.

Condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
