Kashan Persian Rug 203 × 285 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 203 × 285 cm. The covered area is about 5.79 m² (6.7' × 9.4').

Construction

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

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

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