Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 241 × 329 cm

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 241 × 329 cm. That is roughly 7.93 m² of floor, about 7.9' × 10.8'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

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

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
