Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Pakistani Rug, 256 × 351 cm

Overview

Hand-woven in Pakistan: a Kilim of 256 × 351 cm. It covers approximately 8.99 m², or 8.4' × 11.5'.

Construction

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

Where it fits

A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

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

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.
