Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 253 × 365 cm

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 253 × 365 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 9.23 m² (8.3' × 12').

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

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. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
