Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Pakistani Rug, 174 × 253 cm

About this rug

Origin Pakistan, format 174 × 253 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.4 m² (5.7' × 8.3').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-woven throughout. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Where it fits

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

Weave

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

Colour and appearance

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.
