Antique Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 88 × 58 cm

About this rug

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 88 × 58 cm. The covered area is about 0.51 m² (2.9' × 1.9').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm. Weight is given as approx. 2 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Fineness of the knotting

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

How it reads

Colour is recorded as 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. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
