Antique Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 315 × 415 cm

At a glance

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 315 × 415 cm. That is roughly 13.07 m² of floor, about 10.3' × 13.6'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

Colour and appearance

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

Age

Stated condition: approx. 100 years old.
