Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Pakistani Rug, 128 × 182 cm

At a glance

Origin Pakistan, format 128 × 182 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.33 m² of floor, about 4.2' × 6'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Format and use

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Weave

Woven pieces of this kind are thin, reversible, and much lighter than knotted rugs.

How it reads

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.
