About this rug

A Shiraz from Iran, measuring 255 × 133 cm. The covered area is about 3.39 m² (8.4' × 4.4'). Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

Stated material: new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 10 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. 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

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
