Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Pakistani Rug, 216 × 293 cm

The piece in short

Hand-woven in Pakistan: a Kilim of 216 × 293 cm. The covered area is about 6.33 m² (7.1' × 9.6').

Construction

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

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

How it is made

As a flatweave this piece has no pile: front and back carry the same pattern, and it lies very flat.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
