Hand-Knotted Wool Kazak Afghan Rug, 100 × 152 cm

The piece in short

This Kazak comes from Afghanistan and measures 100 × 152 cm. It covers approximately 1.52 m², or 3.3' × 5'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is under 200,000 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.
