Hand-Knotted Wool Kashan Persian Rug, 407 × 100 cm

Overview

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 407 × 100 cm. That is roughly 4.07 m² of floor, about 13.4' × 3.3'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 16 kg.

Format and use

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

On the knot count

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

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.

Period

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
