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

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 171 × 260 cm. The covered area is about 4.45 m² (5.6' × 8.5'). Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

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

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