Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 311 × 502 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 311 × 502 cm. That is roughly 15.61 m² of floor, about 10.2' × 16.5'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

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