Hand-Knotted Wool Qashqai Persian Rug, 260 × 171 cm

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 260 × 171 cm — a Qashqai made entirely by hand. That is roughly 4.45 m² of floor, about 8.5' × 5.6'.

What it is made of

Stated material: new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

How it reads

The stated colourway is 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.
