Hand-Knotted Wool Shiraz Persian Rug, 189 × 289 cm

Overview

A Shiraz from Iran, measuring 189 × 289 cm. The covered area is about 5.46 m² (6.2' × 9.5'). 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.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. 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.

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.
