The piece in short

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 200 × 130 cm. The covered area is about 2.6 m² (6.6' × 4.3').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Where it fits

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.

Period
