Antique Qashqai Persian Rug — 216 × 107 cm, Wool

Overview

This Qashqai comes from Iran and measures 216 × 107 cm. That is roughly 2.31 m² of floor, about 7.1' × 3.5'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm. Weight is given as approx. 7 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

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

Age and condition

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
