Antique Wool & Silk Kashan Persian Rug, 200 × 127 cm

Overview

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 200 × 127 cm. That is roughly 2.54 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 4.2'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as 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 and condition

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