Hand-Knotted Wool Shiraz Persian Rug, 180 × 240 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 180 × 240 cm. It covers approximately 4.32 m², or 5.9' × 7.9'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

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.

Colour and appearance

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.
