Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Persian Rug, 187 × 274 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 187 × 274 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 5.12 m² (6.1' × 9').

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

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

Weave

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

How it reads

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.
