Kashan Persian Rug 235 × 347 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 235 × 347 cm. That is roughly 8.15 m² of floor, about 7.7' × 11.4'.

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. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

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.
