Antique Kashan Persian Rug, 410 × 267 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 410 × 267 cm. That is roughly 10.95 m² of floor, about 13.5' × 8.8'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 35 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

Fineness of the knotting

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

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as 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.

Age
