About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 132 × 202 cm. The covered area is about 2.67 m² (4.3' × 6.6').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

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

On the colourway

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.
