Antique Kilim Persian Rug, 315 × 133 cm

Overview

A Kilim from Iran, measuring 315 × 133 cm. That is roughly 4.19 m² of floor, about 10.3' × 4.4'.

Materials and construction

The rug was hand-woven throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 12 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

How it is made

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

How it reads

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated age: antique. As an antique piece, condition should be judged against its age.
