Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 309 × 427 cm

The piece in short

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 309 × 427 cm. The covered area is about 13.19 m² (10.1' × 14').

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
