Hand-Knotted Wool Shiraz Persian Rug, 173 × 255 cm

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 173 × 255 cm. The covered area is about 4.41 m² (5.7' × 8.4'). Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

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

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

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.
