Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Persian Rug, 303 × 389 cm

The piece in short

This Kilim comes from Iran and measures 303 × 389 cm. It covers approximately 11.79 m², or 9.9' × 12.8'.

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 the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Weave

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

Colour and appearance

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