Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Persian Rug, 199 × 340 cm

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 199 × 340 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 6.77 m² (6.5' × 11.2').

Materials and construction

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.

On the colourway

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