Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 251 × 350 cm

Overview

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 251 × 350 cm. That is roughly 8.79 m² of floor, about 8.2' × 11.5'.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

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. In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

It is catalogued under red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
