Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Pakistani Rug, 184 × 238 cm

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 184 × 238 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.38 m² (6' × 7.8').

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Flatweave

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

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.
