Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 248 × 356 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 248 × 356 cm. That is roughly 8.83 m² of floor, about 8.1' × 11.7'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

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

Knot density and quality

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.

How it reads

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.
