Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Pakistani Rug, 183 × 239 cm

At a glance

Origin Pakistan, format 183 × 239 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.37 m² (6' × 7.8').

Construction

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

Size and placement

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

How it is made

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

On the colourway

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