Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 245 × 351 cm

The piece in short

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 245 × 351 cm. That is roughly 8.6 m² of floor, about 8' × 11.5'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

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

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.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
