Kashan Persian Rug 131 × 184 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 131 × 184 cm. That is roughly 2.41 m² of floor, about 4.3' × 6'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
