Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Pakistani Rug, 203 × 307 cm

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 203 × 307 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.23 m² of floor, about 6.7' × 10.1'.

Construction

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

Where it fits

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

How it is made

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

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.
