This is a unique handmade / hand-knotted / traditional oriental carpet

Unused, 9/45 quality
This carpet has a total of approximately 3,162,000 knots and it took skilled carpet makers about 4,216 hours or 468 working days to hand-knot this carpet.
This Oriental rug has been treated with a "Noble Finish" wash. This wash includes not only the actual cleaning of the carpet but also its processing (ennobling) which represents an increase in the Oriental carpet's value. By this special technique a soft and silky feel and shine are added to the carpet. This washing technique requires experience and skill since otherwise carpets could easily be damaged by it. In this case the washing was implemented perfectly.
