Zanjan Persian Rug 209 × 128 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Zanjan of 209 × 128 cm. That is roughly 2.68 m² of floor, about 6.9' × 4.2'.

Materials and construction

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 8 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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.

On the colourway

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.
