Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 296 × 294 cm

Overview

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 296 × 294 cm. That is roughly 8.7 m² of floor, about 9.7' × 9.6'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 22 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is square. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
