Antique Qashqai Persian Rug, 184 × 110 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 184 × 110 cm — a Qashqai made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.02 m² (6' × 3.6').

Materials and construction

It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 7 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

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