Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 291 × 395 cm

Overview

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 291 × 395 cm. That is roughly 11.49 m² of floor, about 9.5' × 13'.

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. This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

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.
