The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 253 × 360 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 9.11 m², or 8.3' × 11.8'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

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

On the colourway

It is catalogued under red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
