Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 248 × 358 cm

Overview

Origin Iran, format 248 × 358 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 8.88 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.

Where it fits

A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

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

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
